1970 Sandown Three Hour 250

The 1970 Sandown Three Hour 250 was a motor race for Series Production Touring Cars. It was organized by the Light Car Club of Australia and was held on 13 September 1970 over 130 laps of the 1.9 mile Sandown Park circuit in Victoria, Australia, a total of 247 miles. There were 42 starters in the event.
Canadian race driver Allan Moffat won the second of his five Sandown endurance race victories. Moffat drove a factory-entered Ford Falcon GTHO to a one lap victory over Holden Dealer Team driver, Colin Bond. Chrysler factory-supported driver Norm Beechey finished in third position, three laps behind Bond.
This event, revived from a previous six-hour format, debuted in 1968 and quickly became the recognized precursor event to the annual Bathurst 500 / 1000 race.
