While many attempts were made to broker peace between the two bodies, there was a fundamental chasm over the issue of television coverage with AVESCO holding a series contract with Network Ten and the ARDC holding a contract with the Seven Network. The impasse was solved when Bathurst City Council negotiated a deal with AVESCO for a separate race, to be held two weeks after the 1997 AMP Bathurst 1000, which subsequently went ahead with a field of Australian and British Super Touring cars.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Darren Hossack\/Steven Ellery #45 Holden VS Commodore, representing Gibson Motorsport, started the weekend off qualifying in 15th position on the grid for the Great Race and giving themselves every chance of being competitive on race day.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThroughout the ebbs and flows of the almost 6 and a half hour race on Sunday, Hossack and Ellery drove a steady and consistent race ultimately finishing in a very respectable 6th place overall, completing 154 of the 161 race laps.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe eventual race winners were Larry Perkins and Russell Ingall in a Holden VS Commodore, followed by Steven Richards and Jim Richards also in a Holden VS Commodore and to roundout the podium was Mark Larkham and Andrew Miedecke in a Ford EL Falcon.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHolden VS Commodores dominated the 1997 Bathurst 1000, occupying 12 of the top 15 overall placings.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eLIMITED EDITION \u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eITEM NUMBER 18858\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eCERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eCAR MADE BY CLASSIC CARLECTABLES\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTHIS MODEL IS BASED ON THE RACE CAR\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eREADY TO SHIP IN STOCK NOW\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHIS IS ONE GREAT LOOKING 1\/18TH SCALE REPLICA OF THE \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHOLDEN COMMODORE VS RACE CAR\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #2b00ff;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWITH OPENING BONNET--DOORS--BOOT \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA LOT OF DETAIL ON THIS ONE \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#ff2a00\" style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003eSCALE IS 1\/18TH\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#ff2a00\" style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003eNEW IN BOX UNOPENED\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#ff2a00\" style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003ePICTURES ARE FOR CLASSIC CARLECTABLES\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Tufftrucks Scale Models","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47320266440843,"sku":"1\/18 VS Commodore 1997 Bathurst Wynn's Race Car Classic Carlectables 18858","price":216.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0371\/9643\/1499\/files\/18858.jpg?v=1781357587","url":"https:\/\/tufftrucks.com.au\/products\/1-18-vs-commodore-1997-bathurst-wynns-race-car-classic-carlectables-18858","provider":"TUFFTRUCKS SCALE MODELS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
