High Detailed model of the Holden VL Commodore Walkinshaw Group A SV - Bathurst 1988 Grice & Percy in Scale 1:18
The 1988 Bathurst appeared to be a pre-determined race, with Dick
Johnson Ford Sierra dominating the ATCC season. Off-track drama also
overshadowed the event, from long-time sponsor withdrawing, to protests
and counter-protests about the legality of some cars. Unsuccessful
protests caused undue damage to the cars, as they had to be stripped and
rebuilt, with many teams struggling to re-tune their cars.
Qualifying
positions were taken from the Friday practice sessions, with the
Saturday Top 10 Shoot Out becoming an invitation 12, and prize money
being the only reward.
Ford Sierras set the top 7 qualifying times,
with Grice and Percy in their Holden VL Commodore setting the 11th
fastest time, almost 6 seconds behind pole sitter Johnson. From a
rolling start, the Sierras put a great distance between themselves and
the rest of the field. It seemed the Sierras would be fighting amongst
themselves for race honours, but they had to contend with strews of
mechanical failures. Only 18 of the 48 race starters were classified as
finishing.
The Holden VL Commodore of Grace and Percy finished in 15th position completing 139 laps of 161.
