1987 Shell Ultra Australian Touring Car Championship
Round 4 - Wanneroo Park, WA (26/4/1987)

Circuit Length: 2.41 km
Race Distance: 55 laps
Weather: Overcast

All the main runners made the long trek west to Wanneroo while several locals made up the rest of the field.

Fury put his Skyline on pole, but his efforts came to naught when he broke an axle at the start. He lost several laps as repairs were made, the Talmalmo farmer eventually setting the fastest lap of the race.

Perkins led first time across the line, but was passed by Seton into turn one. From there, the Skyline was never headed. Perkins, meanwhile, became embroiled in a huge scrap with Allan Grice, the two Commodore runners rubbing panels on several occasions. Johnson carefully picked his way past the pair to take second. The battle eventually took its toll, with Grice pitting for a new set of rubber. Seton ran out a comfortable winner from Johnson, Perkins, and Richards.
