1992 Tooheys 1000
The 1992 Tooheys 1000 was the 33rd running of the Bathurst 1000 touring car race. It was held on 4 October 1992, at the Mount Panorama Circuit just outside Bathurst. The race was held for cars eligible for International Group A touring car regulations and a class available for those who had built cars eligible to the new for 1993 class, CAMS Group 3A touring car regulations.
The race was won for the second year in a row by Jim Richards and Mark Skaife driving a Gibson Motorsport prepared Nissan Skyline GT-R, the pair becoming the first back-to-back Bathurst winners since Peter Brock and Larry Perkins won in 1983 and 1984. Richards and Skaife had to be declared the winners after a rainstorm swept across the race in the closing stages, causing many accidents in conditions deemed by race officials too dangerous to continue. The race results were issued as at the end of the 143rd lap, 18 laps short of full race distance. This was the second time in the event's history where the race was stopped and results declared before the scheduled laps were completed (the previous occasion was in 1981).
The Dick Johnson Racing run Ford Sierra of Dick Johnson and John Bowe was classified in second position with Richards and Skaife's teammates Anders Olofsson and Neil Crompton in third. Former Formula One World Champion Denny Hulme suffered a heart attack at the wheel; he came to a halt at the side of the track and was pronounced dead at the hospital where he was taken.
For Group A cars of over 1600cc engine capacity.
It featured 10 Ford Sierras, 1 Nissan Skyline HR31 GTS-R, 3 Nissan Skyline R32 GT-Rs, 1 Toyota Supra (A70), 11 Holden VL Commodores, 4 Holden VN Commodores, 3 BMW M3 (E30)s, 1 BMW M3s and 1 BMW 635CSi.
For Group A cars of under 1600cc engine capacity.
It was composed exclusively of 10 Toyota Corollas; 6 Toyota Corolla (E80)s and 4 Toyota Corolla (E90)s.
A class for the new V8 touring car class that would take over Australian touring car racing in 1993 that would later become known as V8 Supercar.
It was composed of 3 Holden VP Commodores and 1 Ford EB Falcon.
47 cars were entered in the race.
"I'm just really stunned for words, I can't believe the reception. I thought Australian race fans had a lot more to go than this, this is bloody disgraceful. I'll keep racing but I tell you what, this is going to remain with me for a long time. You're a pack of arseholes."
