1990 Tooheys 1000

The 1990 Bathurst 1000, known for naming rights reasons as the 1990 Tooheys 1000, was a motor race held on 30 September 1990 at the Mount Panorama Circuit, Bathurst, New South Wales, Australia. The event was open to Group A touring cars, with three engine capacity classes.

The race, which was Round 2 of both the 1990 Australian Endurance Championship and the 1990 Australian Manufacturers' Championship, It was won by the Holden Racing Team Holden Commodore VL of Win Percy and Allan Grice over the Dick Johnson Racing Ford Sierra RS500 of Jeff Allam and Paul Radisich and the Perkins Engineering Holden Commodore VL of Larry Perkins and Tomas Mezera.^[1]

The Bill O'Brien and Brian Sampson Holden Commodore was initially classified as a non-finisher having crossed the line half a second ahead of the race winning car and failing to cokmplete another lap. It was reinstated to eight place upon an appeal to the Confederation of Australian Motorsport.^[2]
