caption_attribution_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.
context_page_description: The 1995 Tooheys 1000 was the 36th running of the Bathurst 1000 touring car race. It was held on 1 October 1995, at the Mount Panorama Circuit just outside Bathurst. The race was held for cars eligible under CAMS Group 3A 5.0 Litre Touring Car regulations, that later became known as V8 Supercars. This was the first Bathurst 1000 to be contested by single class.
  With only 32 cars on the starting grid it was the smallest field so far in the race's history. This was attributed to the fact that the race was run only for the outright class 5.0 Litre Touring Cars with no small car categories running for the first time in the history of the race going back to the 1960 Armstrong 500 at Phillip Island in Victoria.
  Larry Perkins and Russell Ingall driving the #11 Castrol Commodore won the 1995 Tooheys 1000 in what was literally a last to first effort. Perkins clashed with the slow starting HRT Commodore of pole sitter Craig Lowndes before the first turn which pulled the valve out of a tyre forcing him to fall from third to last on the first lap before pitting to replace the tyre.
