In this release we celebrate the rich contribution of this venue to Australian motorsport huistory with some memorable events that have been extracted from the 7 Sport archives. First is the Calder Park round of the 1986 ATCC with Nissan Skyline pilots Glenn Seton and George Fury squaring off against Volvo ace John Bowe. We also have the opening round of the 1987 ATCC which featured the world racing debut of the BMW M3 and resulted in a history-making first ATCC win for Glenn Seton. Fans of the 5 litre Commodore and Falcon V8 championship era will also be pleased to see the 1996 ATCC round from Calder that saw Russell Ingall take his very first round win for Larry Perkins and Craig Lowndes debut the Holden Racing Team's much-vaunted high-tech 'Supercar' Commodore. A special bonus is the first NASCAR race held outside the U.S. on the high banks of the Calder Park Thunderdome in 1988. |
