REVIEW: It's grown into one of the world's classic GT races these days but on this very spedial release a look back is taken at the production car-based early years of the Bathurst 12 Hour. Highlights have been compiled from the 1992, 1993 and 1994 James Hardie 12 Hour at Mount Panorama, Bathurst, on this compilation, plus included is some of the action from the inaugural race held at Easter in 1991.

While the Toyota Supra of Peter Fitzgerald, Allan Grice and Nigel Arkell won the first Bathurst 12 Hour, Mazda dominated the subsequent years with it's ultra-impressive RX-7 even despite a tough time from the Porsche 968 Clubsport squad in '93 and '94.

You'll see some big Bathurst names in action in unique cars in these races including Peter Brock in a six-cylinder Commodore and a Peugot 405, Allan Grice in a V8 Commodore, Glenn Seton and Colin Bond in a Saab and Dick Johnson aboard a Laser TX3 among many others.
