Synopsis

Nature unleashes absolute chaos on the mountain as a relentless, monumental downpour turns sections of the track into a literal swamp. The treacherous, water-logged conditions force a historic, nearly hour-long race stoppage on the pit straight. Decimating the heavily favored factory teams, the brutal war of attrition leaves privateers to fight for survival. This leads to an iconic, underdog triumph in a blue-and-white Ford XB Falcon that remains one of the most rugged, unexpected victories in Australian motorsport history.
