There was probably little doubt that Nissan would take victory at Tooheys 1000 in 1991.

Bathurst usually sees a challenge between Holden and Ford but this year they were merely the also-rans along with BMW. For Ford, in fact, the result could hardly have been worse with the leading Sierra disqualified and two other front running cars retiring within ten laps of the finish. Once again, Channel Seven have provided their usual stunning coverage with another 90 minute epic.
