The 1992 Don't Drink Drive Sandown 500 was an endurance motor race open to Group 3A Touring Cars (commonly known as Group A cars), 1993 Group 3A 5.0 Litre Touring Cars (later to become known as V8 Supercars) and Group 3E Series Production Cars.[1] It was held at the Sandown International Motor Raceway,[2] in Victoria, Australia, on 13 September 1992,[2] over 136 laps of the 3.1 km circuit,[3] a total distance of approximately 422 km. The race, which was the 27th Sandown 500, was won by Larry Perkins and Steve Harrington driving a Holden VL Commodore.
The race was intended to be run over 150 laps,[4][5] but it was significantly delayed by several periods of slow running behind the pace car.[6] With the Sandown circuit operating under an Environmental Protection Agency curfew of 5pm, the race was shortened to 136 laps.[6]
