WHAT DRIVERS SAY ABOUT THE RACE
PETER BROCK (Monaro 05#) The chance to drive that thumping 7.0 litre Monaro around a track like Mount Panorama is one of life's great opportunities and I knew that I just had to be a part of this year's race. Our driver line-up is a tremendous combination of speed and experience and a great mix of personalities., There are no clashes there and that is what you need when trying to win a race like this -- it's vital everyone works towards the same goal.
