1988 Tooheys 1000

The 1988 Tooheys 1000 was a 1000 km endurance motor race for Group A Touring Cars. It was held on 2 October 1988 at the Mount Panorama Circuit just outside Bathurst in New South Wales, Australia. The race was run as a non-championship race to the World Touring Car Masters.

Background

Mid-way through the year of 1988, FISA president Jean-Marie Balestre announced that the 1988 running of the Bathurst 1000, the 29th edition of Australia's great motor race, would be run as a non-championship race to the World Touring Car Masters season, after the sucess the Bathurst 500km was early on the season.

FISA announced some chances in order to promote the race to the locals: a entry limit of 140 cars, 35 per class, with the increase in action during the weekend with the pre-qualifying races WTCM uses to determine the cars who will eventually race on Sunday.
