HISTORY
The 1992 Tooheys 1000 was the 32rd running of the Bathurst 1000 touring car race. It was held at the Mount Panorama Circuit just outside Bathurst.
Mark Skaife became the first driver since Peter Brock, in 1983, to claim provisional pole position, pole position after the Top 10 runoff (with a then fastest touring car lap time of 2:12.63), the race win, and the fastest race lap. His lap record in the race was set in the teams #2 GT-R and not the #1 he drove to victory with Jim Richards. (Brock's race record lap of 1983 was also set in the team's second, #25 car, but that was the car he drove to victory with John Harvey and Larry Perkins).
The Richards / Skaife Nissan GT-R recorded a one lap victory from the Holden Racing Team entered Holden VN Commodore SS Group A SV of 1990 race winners Win Percy and Allan Grice with the GIO Racing Nissan GT-R of Mark Gibbs and dual Australian Drivers' Champion Rohan Onslow a further lap behind in third place.

PRESS RELEASE INFORMATION FROM SLOT.IT :
The Nissan Skyline R32 is produced with the same mechanical part as the DTM Slot.It: 21k 'black' inline engine, 15.8mm wheels.
The body weighs 20g, and the interlocking interior, like the most recent Slot.it models, can be removed and replaced without any effort, reaching a weight of about 15g if a thermoformed interior is used.
The chassis is designed to directly accommodate the universal Slot.it 'type C' chip (oXigen / Scalextric SSD / Carrera D132) or the new digital chip for Carrera D132; in addiiton the motor wiring comes with a connector that allows you to mount the Slot.it digital chips without having to resort to any soldering (our future digital chips will be also made with this type of connector).
Inside the package, as an optional to be assembled on the chassis, there are two 'whiskers' to improve the support of the front of the model when cornering.
