James Hardie 1000

"No other Bathurst endurance classic has been as controversial as the 1987 James Hardie 1000 at Mount Panorama. Drivers and teams from across the globe attended to compete at Bathurst, which that year was a round of the short-lived World Touring Car Championship. Whether it was technical dramas with visiting cars, the confusion of the introduction of the pace car or the wild, wet weather that battered Bathurst that day, this was a race that simply had it all. And through the disqualifications of the 1-2-finishing Texaco Ford Sierras, Peter Brock claimed his record ninth Bathurst win in a year that had seen him bust up very publicly with GM Holden. Chevron is releasing this memorable race in full with the entire race day telecast included on this new release for the very first time. The cameras kept filming during the commercial breaks too, meaning this title includes a range of never-before-seen vision from the '87 classic. Rewind yourself back to the 1980s and enjoy turbo Sierras and Skylines taking on Commodores, BMWs and a range of speedy little cars in a Mountain classic"--Container
