Holden L34 Torana 1976 Bathurst 3rd Place

Despite financial concerns, Peter Brock still managed to have a car prepared for the 1976 Bathurst 1000, co-driving with his brother Phil ‘Split Pin’ Brock. Brock started 2nd on the grid with Moffat in Pole Position. By lap 34 Team Brock was in trouble. The L34 Torana had an issue with the fuel pickup system not delivering the last 35 litres of fuel. Peter was forced to coast into the pits, losing two laps in the process. Team Brock was forced to the pits again, this time for a lengthy stay after breaking an axle. All hopes of winning the race were gone, but Team Brock did not give up. Back on the track the L34 Torana was flying and easily the fastest car on the circuit, closing in on the leaders lap after lap. The race ended with Team Brock in 3rd Place, Bond/Harvey 2nd and Morris/Fitzpatrick 1st.
