He did it in 1992, describing them as a pack of arseholes for booing when he won a second straight Bathurst crown with Mark Skaife in a Nissan. He did it again in 1998, albeit more cordially behind the wheel of a Volvo for the Swedish manufacturers first victory at Mount Panorama. In fact, Richards has been responsible for half of the six winners not built by Holden or Ford in 53 editions of the Great Race. And he reckons there could be another this year in tyro Scott McLaughlin another bloody Volvo driver. The Kiwi youngster has had a breakout season with Volvo Racing GRM, steering his S60 to two wins and four other podium finishes in the cars debut V8 Supercars season. I think theyre in with a really good shot, said Richards, who conquered the Mountain seven times from a record 35 starts. Their car has been competitive all year, the Garry Rogers team is fantastic and theyve got great guys involved. They look great on paper to me. While Volvo is down in the record books as having won the 1000km endurance classic, its yet to do so with an eight-cylinder engine. Richards and Rick Rydells victory in 1998 was part of a breakaway two-litre series, which that year and the year before ran a separate race at Bathurst to V8 Supercars. Ironically, it was Richards son Steven who won the alternative race with Jason Bright in a Ford Falcon. The Bathurst 1000 returned to a two-marque battle after that, with Holden and Ford the only contenders until Nissan and Mercedes-Benz joined the field last year. Neither made a real mark, though, with Lee Holdsworth and Craig Bird the highest-placed, coming 12th in an E63. But McLaughlin is confident Volvo can better that result come October 12. Like Jim said, I think weve got a really good shot, the 21-year-old said. Im looking forward to hopefully going for that win and being there at the end. But at the end of the day, weve got to get everything right. Fuel management will be key, with the Volvo known to guzzle at a faster rate than most. But what if the pacey blue beast does go the distance? Does he expect to be booed like Nissan champions Richards and Skaife were in 1998? I dont think so, said McLaughlin, whose popularity soared after his thrilling duel with defending champion Jamie Whincup on the last lap of the seasonopening Clipsal 500 and colourful post-race interview. Weve been surprised by the reaction of all the fans. Everyones been pretty welcoming of us coming into the sport. Its like an underdog sort of tag, and everyone likes that sort of stuff. His no-nonsense team boss Garry Rogers agrees. I think the public have warmed to our cars, Rogers said. Weve had some good results and weve had nothing other than positivity from the media and from the public. So I dont think theres any issue. Weve got a V8 car, the same as everyone else. Weve got a rule book the same as every one else weve only just read it a bit better than most.
