Wire-To-Wire: 161 Laps, Zero Surrendered
On October 1, 1989, Dick Johnson and John Bowe achieved something no driver pairing had done before at Bathurst - they led every single lap of the Tooheys 1000. All 161 of them. Peter Brock may have taken pole, but Johnson was past him before the first lap was done and never looked back. From that moment to the chequer, the #17 Shell Sierra RS500 Cosworth was untouchable.
Eight years after his first Bathurst triumph - the famous 1981 redemption win following the heartbreaking "rock" incident of 1980 - Johnson claimed his second Great Race. The weapon was the turbocharged Ford Sierra RS500 Cosworth, a 2.0-litre four-cylinder screamer that humbled the V8 establishment. Johnson had already claimed his fifth Australian Touring Car Championship that year, with Bowe finishing second in the points - a Shell Sierra one-two.
The Allan Moffat-entered sister Sierra of German pair Frank Biela and Klaus Niedzwiedz finished second, over a minute behind. Nissan's turbo Skyline of Jim Richards and Mark Skaife claimed third.
