The closing laps of the 1992 Sandown 500 - this is relatively rare footage, as the race was broadcast on SBS, which was not widely known at the time, so many people weren't aware of the telecast.
To put this edit into context, there was some confusion mid-race between Perkins and the Safety Car - (what else is new?) - and Perkins believed that he was a lap up on the field. The timekeepers felt differently, and had Perkins chasing down Paul Morris in the Longhurst BMW to the finish line.
Perkins simply had to pass Morris in trusty chassis PE010 to be sure he was in front at the chequered flag.
Complicating the final laps, the race finish became time-certain, so it wasn't known exactly how many laps Perkins had left to catch Morris.
The Group E cars in the field - (included to make up the numbers) - were a problem all day, and were lapped many times over.
Commentary from Will Hagon and the late Howard Marsden.
