Bathurst 1000 - 1989: Shell Dominance
S1 • E17 Oct 1, 1989 6h 30m
Dick Johnson and John Bowe stamp their absolute authority on Mount Panorama in a vintage display of turbo speed. Driving their beautifully engineered Shell Ford Sierra RS500, the pairing out-qualifies and completely out-paces a world-class field of international machinery. Surviving late-race brake scares and a changing track surface, they lead the endurance classic almost entirely from start to finish, cementing the Sierra as an iconic touring car powerhouse.
