Although the results show a pole followed by a lights-to-flag victory for Peter Brock, it wasn't quite that easy. Brock made a dreadful start and found himself holding Francevic for fourth into turn one, behind Fury, Seton and Crosby. Crosby had a run on Seton heading down to Kelly-Springfield, while Brock closed on the pair of them. Crosby nosed the Systime car inside the Skyline, while Brock dove below both to make it three-wide. It couldn't work... Brock clattered into Crosby, sending both Croz and Seton into the barriers. Up front, Fury looked into his mirrors expecting to see Seton, saw Brock, and speared off! Brock didn't need to be asked twice, and blitzed off into the distance. It would be the last ATCC race victory for a Commodore until 1992. Fury would rejoin in 12th, working his way back up to fourth by the finish, while championship rival Francevic extended his lead with a second.
