| − | “One of the most striking looking cars in the event was the Bortolis Wines Escort of long-time Ford stalwarts Bruce Hodgson & David Morrow, both from New South Wales. They started from fifth place on the grid with a time of 2m 59.5s. Bruce quickly moved up into fourth place by lap nine, and took over third position when Chris Heyer pitted the Golf. “Hodo”, as he is affectionately known, pitted on the fifty-first lap to take on fuel and a change of disc pads while co-driver David Morrow strapped himself aboard. It appeared that brake problems continued, gradually dropping them down the field into seventh place by the one hundred lap mark, a position they held to the finish. Indeed, a very impressive run.” | + | <i>“One of the most striking looking cars in the event was the Bortolis Wines Escort of long-time Ford stalwarts Bruce Hodgson & David Morrow, both from New South Wales.
