Chivas
1973 - Doug Chivas
Doug Chivas in Peter Brock's LJ Torana XU-1under team orders tried to get maximum laps to save a pit stop and maintain their superiority over the second placed thirstier Falcon GT of Allan Moffat & Pete Geoghegan. While leading the car ran out of fuel and Chivas tried to clutch start it at Murray's Corner to get the car to the pits. The car lost momentum and he leapt from the car and struggled to push it uphill to the pit lane. Urged on by his pit crew, who were unable to help until he reached the pit lane, and a huge television audience Chivas managed to make it. But they had lost the lead to Moffat and finished second.
