HDT Fans 1980 Race of Champions

In support of the 1980 Australian
Grand Prix conducted at Calder Raceway, Peter Brock’s newly-formed HDT was
contracted to build 12 VC Commodores for a ‘Race of Champions’. Drivers
involved included Brock and other stars of Touring Car racing, World F1
Champion Alan Jones and three times F1 title winner Jack Brabham.
Running on road tyres and with
minimal safety equipment, the HDTs bashed and barged their way around the
circuit to the entertainment of spectators and a large television audience.
Kevin Bartlett won the first race and
Brock the second, but runner-up both times was John Bowe and he was declared
the series winner.
