Holden VP Commodore 1992 Bathurst

The 1992 Tooheys 1000 was held on October 4th at the Mount Panorama Circuit, just outside of Bathurst. The race was won for the second year in a row by Jim Richards and Mark Skaife driving a Gibson Motor Sport Nissan Skyline GT-R, the pair becoming the first back to back Bathurst winners since Peter Brock and Larry Perkins won in 1983 and 1984. Nine time Bathurst winner Peter Brock had his worst ever start to the race when the tailshaft of his VP Commodore broke on the starting line. After sitting on the side of the circuit for a number of laps, the car was eventually towed into the pits where the crew fitted a new tailshaft. Brock, who’s co-driver was German DTM driver and winner of the 1989 24 Hours of Le Mans, Manuel Reuter, rejoined the race on lap 15 in last position. After later breaking a second tailshaft, Brock and Reuter finished in 27th place after completing 118 of the 143 total race laps.

Item includes certificate and production number plate, mounted to the chassis.
