The biggest field of the year rolled up to Sandown, where the race would go ahead without television coverage after a technician's strike. The two Skylines of Kent Baigent and Graeme Bowkett made their way across the Tasman for the first time in 1987.

The two Peter Jackson Skylines dominated proceedings, Fury moving aside in the closing laps to let Seton earn maximum championship points. Richards left Sandown with no points after a disastrous first lap for the JPS team. A first corner clash with Miedecke sent both M3s running over the exit kerb; Longhurst retired on the spot after the sump was ripped off the engine, while Richards dented his. The dent would starve the engine of oil, the M3's engine crying enough on the last lap.

Meanwhile, the Under 2 Litre Championship had its second round, run concurrently with the ATCC round. The results were taken after 13 laps, not the full 30 lap ATCC distance (in fact, the final result after 30 laps is exactly the same as in the points table).
