For more than a decade the Nissan Altima V8 Supercar Kelly brothers Todd and Rick have been making an annual roadtrip out to the legendary Bathurst race in Mount Panorama. Â Each year, the duo makes the trip in a different Nissan model. Last year they made the trip in the Nissan G60 and this year they are heading out in a rare Nissan Bluebird TRX.
“This year we have the George Fury-inspired Bluebird, complete with Nissan racing stripes. Hopefully it gets us to Bathurst nice and relaxed” Rick Kelly said.
This George Fury-inspired bluebird is an especially significant choice as this year marks the 30th anniversary of Fury’s 1984 record-breaking, pole-sitting lap time win at Bathurst 1000.  The Bluebird being used on the road trip was loaned to the Kellys by owner Peter Rowlston who also fully restored the model.
“This is one of the more comfortable cars that we’ve taken, so we’re looking forward to the trip. It always allows us the time to get in the right frame of mind for the big race” Todd Kelly said.
