Classic Australian Touring Car Races Vol.8 takes us right back to the
start of the 1980s and the beginning of a brief but golden era of Group C
touring car racing in Australia. This volume features three classic endurance
races — the 1980 Surfers Paradise 300 followed by the 1981 Oran Park 250
enduro and the 1981 Hang Ten 400 at Sandown, the traditional curtain raiser
to the Bathurst 1000. This was the era that saw the introduction to racing of
the Holden Commodore. Mazda RX7. BMW 635 CS! and Nissan Bluebird
Turbo, as well as marking the arrival of Dick Johnson as a front-running
contender in his now-famous Tru-Blu Falcon XD. Watch Johnson take on
the Commodores of Peter Brock, Bob Morris, Allan Grice and John Harvey
— and Allan Moffat in his Mazda RX7. Classic cars, classic stars, classic
touring car racing from this eighth volume in the series.
