Today’s DSC Retro Gallery comes once again from David Lord.
After a number of production-based car only 12 Hour races at Bathurst in the 1990 the endurance event was revived, albeit for just two years, in 2002 and 2003 under Ross Palmers’ PROCAR organisation.
DSC – with Malcolm Cracknell and David Lord, was there for the 2003 running, we’d be back of course when the 12 Hour era returned – with a vengeance!
Here’s the first of a pair of galleries, this one covering practice and qualifying, with many of the images never before published.
