The 1987 Bob Jane T-Marts 500 was the ninth round of the 1987 World Touring Car Championship.[1] The race, which was open to Group A Touring Cars,[2] was held on 11 October 1987 at Calder Park Raceway in outer Melbourne, Victoria, Australia [2] on the rarely used combined circuit which incorporated both the recently redeveloped road course and the newly completed NASCAR-style “Thunderdome” oval.
The combined oval/road course was 4.216 km (2.620 mi) long and the race was run over 120 laps.
Both Klaus Ludwig's pole time of 1:42.92 and Andrew Miedecke's fastest race lap of 1:45.03 in their respective Ford Sierra RS500's were faster than the pole time set in the only other Group A touring car race held on the combined oval/road course, the Yokohama/Bob Jane T-Marts 300 held two months previously on 9 August. Allan Grice set pole position for the earlier race in his Holden VL Commodore SS Group A with a time of 1:45.74.
