As anticipated, qualifying for the 1988 Bathurst 1000 saw the Ford Sierras dominate and occupy the top seven grid spots with the fastest of the non-Sierra brigade being the factory Holden Special Vehicles Commodore of Larry Perkins and the late Denny Hulme who qualified in 8th position with a lap time of 2.21:00. For the first and only time ever, the race began with a rolling start and pole-sitter Dick Johnson convincingly led the field into Hell Corner with the 47-car pack very strung out as it headed up Mountain Straight for the first time.
