Featuring V8's best: Brock, Johnson, Perkins, Skaife, and the debut of Craig Lowndes
Three of the best rounds of action from the 1990s in the Australian Touring Car Championship ... The arrival of five-litre warfare in the Australian Touring Car Championship between Holden and Ford in the 1990s paved the way for what we now know as the V8 Supercars Championship. On this new release from Chevron. we've dug into the Seven Network archive to re-live some of the best races from the early years of the era, starting with the action-packed opener from the 1993 championship at Amaroo Park in Sydney. This was Mark Skaife's debut in a Holden as well as the ATCC debut of former World Motorcycle Champion Wayne Gardner for the Holden Racing Team — and the levels of panel damage need to be seen to be believed! We also bring you Round 2 of the 1993 ATCC from Symmons Plains in Tasmania as the heat intensified between Skaife and former Fl World Champion Alan Jones! To round things out, we've also included the start of one of the greatest careers seen in ATCC/V8 Supercars Championship history. A young 21-year-old named Craig Lowndes won on debut at Eastern Creek under lights in the opening round of the 1996 ATCC. We have action from all three races as 'The Kid' started '96 in style on his way to his breakthrough ATCC crown for the Holden Racing Team.
