The opening laps of the 1987 James Hardie 1000, World Touring Car Championship (WTCC) at Mount Panorama Bathurst had some fantastic battles and this battle was no exception. Jim Richards behind the wheel of the JPS E30 BMW M3 battling it out with both Glenn Seton and George Fury in their Peter Jackson DR30 Nissan Skyline Turbo's.
Despite the M3 lacking the power in the straights, Jim still took the fight to the Skyline's for a number of laps which 7 Sport captured excellently, including from Racecam mounted in Glenn Seton's Nissan showing just how hard Glenn was working not only to get passed Jim, but through the slower traffic.

One of my favourite battles of the 87 race. 2 completely different cars battling it out, just how Group A was intended.

I love me a Skyline but those M3's sound and run amazing, such a well sorted and driven car.

This was Group A at its absolute best on a great track. It was rarely this good for different reasons including those mentioned in the previous post.

The old R31 Skyline looks like a limousine..but boy it was attached to Jim's M3 like a heamoroid. And round the whole lap too 😂

Anyone that owns either of these two types of road cars today is sitting pretty. Both worth a small fortune!

Awesome, would love to see a few young fellas have a drive in anger in these cars at Bathurst and see if they can get close on times

the armchair experts said the little M3s wouldnt be able to run with the Commodores and Skylines up the Mountain because of their perceived lack of torque, completely forgetting that they could be built down to the homologated minimum weight of only 960Kg.... The Skylines had difficulty getting down to their homologated minimum weight of only 1110Kg, the best were around the 1160-1180 mark, and the poor old Commodores had to lug a minimum of 1325Kg.

DR30が海外のレースで活躍しているのがわかり嬉しい!!!

Seems like the Skyline were faster than the bmws. Great driving by tye drivers too.

Do NOT underestimate those BMW,s, they did not have the power of the bigger cars, BUT they were VERY NIMBLE cornering braking and much better fuel economy!!
