AE86 wins

[Toyota Heritage]

Bathurst 1000 Touring Car Endurance Race held at Bathurst, Australia:

1985 Class A (<2litre) winner - Toyota Corolla GT
1986 Class A winner - Toyota Corolla GT
1987 Division 3 (<1600cc) winner - AE86 Toyota Corolla
1988 Division 3 winner - Toyota Corolla GT (2nd Toyota Corolla FX-GT, 3rd AE86)
1989 Division 3 winner - FX-GT (nb AE86 Toyota Corolla DNF)
1990 Division 3 winner - AE86 Toyota Corolla
1991 Division 3 winner - AE86 Toyota Corolla
1992 Class B (<1600cc) winner - FX-GT

I included wins by other model Corolla's to show just how dominant the Corolla models were here in Australia. In some years the regulations changed and that meant that only Corolla models were in the Class or Division, but that was also a reflection of the weapon they were - no others cars were being consider competitive for the small engine class or division.

It was a joy to watch these Corolla's belt around the Bathurst circuit amidst V8's and straight sixes and at the hands of some very competent drivers they sometimes beat these larger engine cars on line honours too.
