When early engine failures shock the defending champions just 10 laps in, the race breaks wide open. Defying all odds, a brilliantly prepared privateer Holden Torana SL/R 5000 goes toe-to-toe with the heavily funded factory operations to execute a flawless endurance strategy and stage a stunning upset.
