The Great Race 1960 - 2015 — Season 6

The Great Race 1997 - 2001

The Boys are Back at Bathurst’s Mount Panorama, and proved that nothing shakes the Mountain like V8 Supercars. This new release highlights the Holden vs Ford classic battles from 1997-2001 – they raced for four years in November and the fifth back to the traditional October. Highlights are: 1997 – Perkins won his sixth Bathurst in a Commodore, his partner, Ingall, won for the first time. Also, Peter Brock’s last race. 1998 – The Bright/Richards Falcon claimed The Great Race prize in a true thriller, a victory against the odds. 1999 – The Richards/Murphy VT Commodore outlasted the field in back-to-back wins for Richards Dick Johnson’s last appearance. 2000 – The Bargwanna/Tander Commodore conquered the Mountain in the most evenly contested 1000 for years. 2001 – Skaife and Longhurst achieved Holden’s 21st victory at The Great Race in one of the fastest 1000 events to date.
