The last touring car race on Australian soil for the year. Delays in shipping cars back from New Zealand hampered the preparations of some, while Fred Gibson stole a march over his opposition by airfreighting his cars back. Johnson worked his way into a comfortable lead after the early laps. Both Brock - who was notified that morning that he had actually won Bathurst - and Seton went out after challenging early while, behind Johnson, Grice and Perkins resumed their now-usual battle. Fury made his way past the duelling Commodores late in the race, and started closing rapidly on Johnson when the Sierra started having fuel pick-up problems in the last couple of laps. Johnson brought the ailing car over the line for his second victory of 1987, a consolation after a terrible year. Fury finished second, with Perkins beating Grice to third. |
