1, 2 & 3. Peter Brock's 1991 Holden Commodore VN Group A racer. After three years of racing rival marques (a BMW in 1988 and Fords in 1989 & 90), Peter Brock "returned" to Holden. Well, not officially - the relationship between Brock and Holden wasn't patched up until Brock joined the Holden Racing Team in 1994. Instead Brock formed a short-lived (one year) partnership with his former Bathurst winning co-driver Larry Perkins to run a two car team of the then new Holden Commodore VN Group A with Mobil sponsorship. Perkins built the cars and engines, Brock supplied the media image and sponsorship. The VN was the last of the Group A racing Commodores, and at the 1991 Bathurst 1000, the 4.9 litre Holden V8 had been massaged to achieve about 413kW (550 bhp) at about 8,500 rpm. They were at their limits in terms of reliability at this sort of power level, and still struggled to match the opposition Skyline GTRs.

5. Interesting Group C Nissan EXA Turbo which raced in the 1983 and 1984 Bathurst 1000.
6. A Group C Falcon XD touring car which raced in the 1980 and 81 Bathurst 1000 races. The Falcons race with a 5.8 litre (351 cu in) V8 putting out about 300kW (400 bhp). This is the car in its 1981 livery as raced by Brian Muir/Peter Geohagan.
