July 2010 Come on down and check out our brand new Showroom â˜ş, it's warmer, cosier and more quiet, although that can change when we watch Harves' dive up the inside of Moff at Bathurst in 78, or Willo abuse the big yank tanks in 80, or DJ win his first Bathurst in 81.

The likeable John Goss won his second Bathurst in 1985 along with Germany’s Armin Hahne in the TWR prepared Jaguar XJ-S. It was to be the first Bathurst run under Group A Touring Car rules in what was a popular win for the only man in history to have won both the Australian Grand Prix and Bathurst, a record that will probably stand for a while yet. The #8 car driven by Tom Walkinshaw and Win Percy is also being produced with both models expected to be released in early 2011.

News Group C Touring Car Racing was a popular era and one of the more interesting cars was the Army Reserve XD Falcon. Biante are modelling the car from the 1981 James Hardie 1000 where it was driven by popular open wheeler driver of the 70’s Bob Muir and his co driver the hard charging Ian “Pete” Geoghegan. The real Army Reserve XD Falcon can still be seen at circuits across the East Coast with former Bathurst racer Frank Binding at the wheel.

While funds permitted, the likeable Chicken Man, Graeme Bailey joined him before returning to Australia where he would do selected rounds of the 1986 ATCC. While the Roadways VK certainly had the speed, luck was rarely on their side although it would all come together in October that year.

News For the Mark Skaife fans there are two recent announcements, both cars being represented from the 1996 season. With the outlawing of cigarette sponsorship at the end of 1995, teams were forced to look at other avenues as evident in the two Mark Skaife GMS paint schemes.

The Project Falcon B52 was a joint effort involving Moffat’s crew, Kar Kraft and Goodyear to create the ultimate Ford for Bathurst. With its Nascar style numbers, striking blue livery, Allan Moffat’s XB Falcon certainly looked the goods and despite winning the Sandown Enduro, things did’nt go right come Bathurst time. Joined by 1971 European Touring Car Champion, Dieter Glemser the fabulous looking XB Falcon after a number of problems was finally put out for good on lap 108 when the clutch went. For the Ford Fans though, all was not lost with the Falcon XA of John Goss and Kevin Bartlett taking victory for the blue oval.

News Teaming two of Australia’s best Touring Car drivers is normally a pretty good recipe for success, however it was’nt to be at Bathurst 1986 when on lap 77, Moffat split the oil cooler on the speed humps in pit lane costing them valuable time. Even the late th great Peter Brock could’nt make up the time lost and the popular duo finished 5 .
