XJS gets pole, Bathurt 1985
Damn, look at Tom Walkinshaw go! He's using every bit of the track and really thrashing this wicked XJS during qualifying. There's more footage, including some in-car, in-race stuff, but it won't embed here. Watch that on the blog.

The full story of how the XJS was turned into a very fast racer is in Allan Scott's book. An absolute must for anyone interested in that abpect of the cars:

I remember watching it was a great qual time for the day.
Back in the 1980’s and early 1990’s, touring cars were analog monsters, and the Mount Panorama Circuit was yet to be sanitized for safety.
Remember Tom did a 2:18 in qualifying
Scott Mclauchlan did a 2:03 in 2017 that is 15seconds faster
But that does not tell the whole story in 1987 the circuit was modified with the addition of the chase lengthening Conrod straight.
