A highly anticipated new era dawns as international turbo regulations are banished, resetting the grid into a pure, localized V8 Holden vs. Ford war. Larry Perkins stuns the field by securing pole position in his privately built Commodore. On race day, Perkins and co-driver Gregg Hansford execute a flawless, high-octane strategy, out-dueling the heavily funded factory teams to claim a historic victory for the new five-litre touring car format.
