Ask anyone which cars they remember most from the early 80’s Group C touring car racing and surely near the top of the list will be the 1984 Holden Dealer Team VK Commodores in their dayglo red/orange and white colour scheme. Biante has inspected and measured the car from Peter Champion’s collection … VK #05 has had a total nut and bolt restoration, with most of the work carried out by the people who actually built the car in 1984. To go along with the extremely high standard of detail and workmanship in this new model, our box packaging has also been stepped up a grade with opening lid and team drivers podium presentation photo as they appeared at Bathurst in 1984. A 1:18 scale replica of the actual Scott Aspen helmet that Peter Brock wore is also included, attached to the base plate.

MAZDA RX-7 – #43 ATCC WINNER – ALLAN MOFFAT (1983)

#05 – MOBIL HOLDEN RACING TEAM
WINNER : 1997 ATCC, Round 8 (Barbagallo Raceway)
DRIVER: PETER BROCK

On 29th May 1997, following Round 6 of the ten round 1997 Championship series, Peter Brock stunned fans in announcing his forthcoming retirement from full-time motor racing. The crowds came out in force at the following Lakeside round to wish Peter a fond farewell.

Celebrations were even grander a few weeks later at Round 8 at Wanneroo (Barbagallo Raceway), where Peter Brock triumphed over variable weather conditions and other incidents to pick up two thirds and a second in the three races and thereby win the round. The result was all the more remarkable for Brocky having recovered from a first lap excursion in race three that had dropped him back to tenth position.

His ATCC career came to an appropriately legendary end at Round 10 at Oran Park. Brocky out-qualified all others for pole position and followed that up with a win in race one and a second placing in race two. Tyre dramas in race three prevented a fairy-tale ending for Peter Brock … but, hey … that’s motor racing !
