With long-time supporters Valvoline and Repco returning as major partners, the #34 Camaro featured a striking retro-inspired livery paying tribute to GRM’s famous 2000 Bathurst 1000 victory with Jason Bargwanna and Garth Tander.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nMore than 25 years after that memorable triumph, the familiar colours returned to Australia’s Great Race on a modern Gen3 Chevrolet Camaro, connecting two generations of Garry Rogers Motorsport history.
