BETWEEN THEM, ALLAN MOFFAT AND PETER BROCK CLAIMED VICTORY AT EVERY RACE IN THIS YEAR'S TOURING CAR CHAMPIONSHIP, BUT THERE'S ONLY ONE RACE THAT REALLY COUNTS. PETER BROCK WOULD DEARLY LOVE TO REPEAT HIS HEROIC EFFORTS FROM LAST YEAR AND MAKE IT TWO WINS IN A ROW. AND THAT WOULD MATCH MOFFAT'S BACK-TO-BACK WINS FROM 1970 AND 1971. # ...JUST WAITIN' FOR THE SOUND SO I COULD GO HOME. ENGINES RUMBLE AND IT'S GO. THEY'VE SET A CRACKING PACE. THEY'RE REALLY STANDING ON THE ANCHORS. ROUND THEY GO. IT'S A TERRIFIC SIGHT AS THEY FLY PAST THE PITS. ONE LAP DOWN, 161 TO GO. TYRES SCREECH UH-OH, WHAT'S HAPPENED? BROCK'S GOING INTO THE RIGHT-HANDER, AND MOFFAT'S GONE ALL OUT OF LINE. THERE HE GOES ` A BIG 180. BROCK'S ON HIS WAY DOWN THE STRAIGHT, WELL AHEAD. MOFFAT'S GOT IT TOGETHER, BUT I CALCULATE HE'S LOST 20 SECONDS THERE. THERE GOES BROCKY. HE'S PUT HIMSELF A FULL LAP UP ON THE FIELD. TORANAS ARE WELL ON TOP. OOH, THAT'S A BIG ONE. MOFFAT AVOIDS THE AFTERMATH FROM THE CRASHED MAZDA. HE ESCAPES ALL THE CARNAGE. BUT DEBRIS FROM THE CRASH RESULTS IN A PUNCTURED TYRE FOR THE UNLUCKY BROCK. SO MOFFAT AND FORD CLAIM THE HARDIE-FERODO CROWN YET AGAIN. IT CAN'T BE RIGHT. DO YOU BELIEVE IT? (SCOFFS) HE GOT IT FROM A FRIEND OF MICHELLE'S. YOU SPOKEN TO PETER? NAH.
