Was 1992 the last year DJR was on pole at Bathurst??? If so, it means a DJR V8 supercar was never been on pole!!

Where did they qualifing in 1994 & 1995??

 

[Seton Fanatic]

Yes, 1992 was the last time a DJR car was on pole. In 1994, Grice/Johnson qualified seventh, and Johnson/Bowe 10th. In 1995, Johnson/O'Brien qualified seventh, and Johnson/Bowe eighth. If I remember rightly, Dick had a pole-contending car in '94, but glanced the wall out of the Cutting, spoiling his hopes of a quick lap.

All too easy SF..[8D]

That is the last time a DJR car secured pole at Bathurst Joe. Dick was on course for pole in 94 but brushed the wall through the cutting & ultimately started 10th.

95 they started toward the back of the 10. I think the highest a DJR Falcon has started at the 1000 since 92 would be Steve Johnson in 2000 when he qualified 2nd beside Gardner in the FTR AU.

And guess who sorced that pole in 1994?? A one G.Seton!

 

[Joe5619]

Speaking of pole positios...

When was the last time
1) DJR was on pole
2) Seto was on pole
3) jnr was on pole

 

[Seton Fanatic]

You would be right about 2000, when Johnson started second. The last time DJR was on pole was at Barbagallo 2001, when Paul Radisich stole pole from Glenn Seton. The last time Glenn Seton was on pole was Winton 2000. That brought about the legendary in-car coverage of Glenn urging himself on. If you count provisional poles, then Glenn had provisional pole at Bathurst in 2001. As for Junior, Canberra 2001 rings a bell, for it was his only pole position to date.

[Joe5619]

[Seton Fanatic]

It's Murph, in 2003, but pre-chase, George Fury in 1984 does the honour.
