Bathurst banners add spice to big race weekend - 27/10/97
Holden's 'Best Bathurst Banner' competition was an outstanding success on the Primus 1000 race weekend.

The standard of creativity in delivering visual accolades to the retiring Peter Brock added immense colour to the event.

Over 200 messages were strung around the mountain paying homage to the master of Mount Panorama - most prepared with the skill and dedication shown by Brock himself in his halcyon days.

While the winner, David Webb of Blacktown in NSW, picked up $5000 prizemoney courtesy of Holden Motorsport, over 250,000 calls jammed telecaster Channel Ten' s switchboard. Viewers voted for the winning banner in order to claim a sought after VT Commodore SS model.

Channel Ten commentator Mark Oastler said, "This sort of competition gives the Bathurst spectacle extra flayour. There were some amazing efforts - it really was a difficult exercise to choose a winner," he said.
