Summary

Description

The VR Commodore was built from July 1993-April 1995. The VR was a major facelift on the 2nd generation Commodore, with only the doors and roof remaining unchanged. It got a smoother body with a new grille, the taillights were set up high.

The 1995 Tooheys 1000 at Bathurst was won by this car, driven by Larry Perkins and Russell Ingall. Perkins clashed with the slow starting HRT Commodore of Craig Lowndes before the first turn, pitting to replace a tyre, the car ended up running last. They started to climb back into contention, helped by ailing cars and Safety car periods, they were back in the top 5 with 20 laps to go. Second was Jones and Grice in a EF Falcon and third was Gardner and Crompton in a similar VR Commodore.
