1993 Tooheys 1000

It was held on 3 October 1993 at the Mount Panorama Circuit just outside Bathurst, New South Wales, Australia.

* After the Ford EB Falcons had dominated the first six rounds of the ATCC, CAMS allowed a new aero package for the Holden VP Commodores.

At Bathurst this allowed the Commodore runners to qualify almost 3 seconds faster than they had in 1992 while the fastest Ford driver in official qualifying Glenn Seton (the only Falcon runner in 1992) could only improve his 1992 time by 1.2 seconds.

* The first driver to run against the clock, Neil Crompton, spun on oil coming into Caltex Chase on his fast lap.

As it happened, it was his own GIO Commodore that had been dropping the oil onto the track during both his warm up and official lap, causing grip problems for the next eight drivers to run.
