1987 Under 2 Litre Australian Touring Car Championship
Round 1 - Winton, VIC (22/3/1987)

Circuit Length: 2.03 km
Race Distance: 25 laps

The first round of the 2 litre championship would see their biggest entry for a standalone round in either year of the championship. All the main little-car runners were there, the field only bolstered by two Group E production car runners. The race was dominated by the factory 1600cc Toyotas, Smith winning comfortably from team-mate Price in the AE86 coupes.

Of interest is Mark Skaife, who made his race debut for the Peter Jackson Nissan team at this round.
