Peter: When people ask me what is my most indelibly imprinted memory of motor sport it is, without any shadow of doubt the '79 Repco Reliability Around Australia Trial. It was the single-most difficult, challenging motoring event you could imagine. Bev: He was in there, boots and all. Man 35: Peter Brock and
the Commodore started that race as underdogs. Bev: In fact, it was him and George Sheppard who got Holden to say we could launch this new Commodore to the public market this would be the perfect venue to do it. Phil: These roads aren't meant for cars but the Holden Commodore was engineered to a level of toughness that had never been seen on an Australian car before
