MELBOURNE, Australia – Nissan and Norton will celebrate the 30th anniversary of Nissan's first Bathurst 1000 pole position at the Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000 in October.

Michael Caruso and Dean Fiore's #36 Norton Nissan Altima will adopt a retro-themed livery for "The Great Race" at Mount Panorama, depicting the colors worn on George Fury's 1984 Nissan Bluebird.

Here, Caruso chats with George Fury ahead of this historic event.

 

Fury was a two-time Australian Rally champion with Nissan before switching to circuit racing. He won three Sandown 500s (1986, 1987 and 1990) and finished second in the Australian Touring Car Championship on two occasions (1983 and 1986).

Fury made 10 starts in the Bathurst 1000 with a best finishing result of third in the controversial 1987 race. Eight of his 10 starts were with factory Nissan teams.

The 2014 Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000 will be held on October 9-12.
