Quite exciting racing with Larry Perkins trying his best to win....

(Will, not sure if this is what you are looking for as it is not really Historic Racing Today.... but its is a bloody good race from history and worth a watch.
Oh, and the commentator is a very excited Darryl Eastlake (who sadly recently passed away) |
What a fantastic piece of driving & very clean too...

I think this might him been his first visit to Bathurst, so not bad for a 'rookie'

Edit: Just checked and it was his 2nd visit... his first in 1984 saw him break the clutch on the grid and not take part. |
I was never that fond of TW but there's no doubt about it, that was a spectacular qualifying lap!
