Encyclopedia
The 1987 James Hardie 1000 was the eighth round of the inaugural World Touring Car Championship
, the first round to be held in the southern hemisphere. The race was held for cars eligible for Group A
touring car regulations. It was the 25th anniversary of the original touring car endurance race held at the Mount Panorama Circuit
in 1963. It was the 28th race that traces its lineage back to the 1960 Armstrong 500
held at Phillip Island
. It was held on October 4, 1987 at the Mount Panorama Circuit
just outside Bathurst
.
The races was shortened from 163 laps to 161 when the track was slightly lengthened by the addition of the chicane called Caltex Chase. The chicane was built in response to the death of Mike Burgmann
in the previous year's race
.
The race was won by the Ford
supported Eggenberger Motorsport team, finishing first and second with Steve Soper
and Pierre Dieudonné taking the chequered flag two laps ahead of team mates Klaus Ludwig
and Klaus Niedzwiedz
. Third was the best of the locally based teams, the Holden Dealer Team
Commodore driven by Peter McLeod
and Peter Brock
and David Parsons
.
Division two was another 1-2 result, for the Australian BMW team, JPS Team BMW, Jim Richards
and Tony Longhurst
leading home team mates Robbie Francevic
and Ludwig Finauer who finished ahead of the first of the BMW Europe cars, the CiBiEmme team of Johnny Cecotto
and Gianfranco Brancatelli
, who were also the leading registered World Touring Car Championship
team, matching the worst performance by the WTCC teams in the season opening Monza 500
.
Division three had only one finisher, last car on the road the Bob Holden Motors Toyota Sprinter
driven by Bob Holden
, Garry Willmington and Bryan Bate.
Post-race protests blighted the results, which were not finalised until well into 1988 as the Eggenberger team appealed their disqualification as far as the appeals process allowed. Eventually the disqualification, for illegally modified front wheel arch guards, which allowed the team to race on taller tires, was upheld and McLeod, Brock and Parsons were declared race winners. It was a record ninth Bathurst 1000 victory for Brock and his final victory in the race.
