1992 James Hardie 12 Hour

The 1992 James Hardie 12 Hour was an endurance race for production cars staged at the Mount Panorama Circuit, Bathurst, New South Wales, Australia on 19 April 1992. Cars competed in six classes:

He entered the car due its V8 power and relatively light weight, though the weight distribution was such that he struggled with the handling of the car.
