1988 BROCK QUITS HOLDEN plus R1 Amaroo AMSCAR Highlights

1988 was an interesting year for Australian touring car history, if Peter Brock's split from Holden after a almost 20 year association wasn't enough to jolt the memory banks then take a look at what he ended up driving, a Ford at the Goodyear AUSCAR 200 Calder Park Thunderdome http://www.calderpark.com.au/history/the-thunderdome.aspx and a BMW M3 all in the same year. Super100mph has found some old footage which we cobbled together although a bit rough in places, brings back the memories of what 1988 was like for touring car fans, it certainly didn't run to script.
Includes a wonderful interview with Brock by Channel 9's Ann Maree Sparkman. We also included the 1st round of the Amscar races at Amaroo Park which showed a depleted entry list which did not include Brock in the BMW, replaced by Neil Crompton.

Brock ended up a guest commentator for channel 7 whilst Crompton was replaced by a surprise guest commentator Doug Mulray which added a bit of comedy to the script. Not sure if Brock ever like racing at Amaroo Park, he was a non starter there many times over the years.

At the time sponsorship for the Bathurst 1000 was up in the air which was not secured until much later in the year by https://youtu.be/5jAhn3RvHY4 it was a weird time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Brock Includes some great old sound bites of songs from the era Bryan Ferry - The Right Stuff https://youtu.be/eW2cNGs5wnk
