11/10/1987 - Bob Jane T-Marts 500 - Calder Park, VIC
Bob Jane T-Marts 500
Calder Park, VIC (11/10/1987)

Circuit Length: 4.22 km
Race Distance: 120 laps
Weather: Showers clearing to overcast

Once again the Texaco Sierras dominated proceedings, and once again the Australian challenge fell apart. The #7 car had a gearbox problem, dropping them out of the top ten and arguably helping cost them the WTCC crown. The Schnitzer BMWs finished 2nd and 3rd after air-freighting over a new car to replace the badly bent #46 car. The Rouse car once again retired before Allan Moffat could have a drive.
