What no-one expected happened at Bathurst; not one of the many Sierras won the race, but the Holden of Percy and Grice came out on top. Pole had gone to Niedzwiedz in an Eggenberger Sierra, but when the race started they ran into endless problems, finally finishing tenth.
Fastest car on track was the brand new Nissan Skyline “Godzilla”; after brake troubles in practice, the car took the lead with ease in the race but dropped back when it started to misfire.
