REVIEW: The 1985 James Hardie 1000 at Mount Panorama, Bathurst is often referred to as the beginning of of “Australia versus the world”. The race saw the beginning of Group A international touring car regulations, pitting Holden’s locally produced Commodore against a range of international cars including V12 Jaguars, turbocharged Volvos and Mitsubishis, V8 Mustangs and Rovers, not to mention the gorgeous thoroughbred BMWs. In the end, 1974 Bathurst winner John Goss and German Armin Hahne teamed up to claim victory in one of Tom Walkinshaw Racing’s V12-powered Jaguar XJ-S racers.
Included in this release is the full race day telecast, including the pre-race festivities, a Nissan Pulsar support race and then the “main course”, the 163-lap Mountain classic. Also included is a range of unseen vision including the race action that unfolded while television viewers of the day were busy watching commercials. Yet another must-have for the motorsport enthusiast.
