Bathurst 1000 - 1979: Six Laps and a Record
S1 • E7 Sep 30, 1979 6h 38m
Peter Brock and Jim Richards rewrite the touring car history books with an impossibly dominant, flawless performance. Driving the legendary Holden Dealer Team Torana A9X, the pairing completely breaks the field, leading from the drop of the flag until the very last corner. Refusing to slow down even with a massive lead, Brock shocks the pit lane by crushing the lap record on the 163rd and final lap of the race. They cross the line to win by an unbeaten, staggering six-lap margin.
