Barry Mulholland


Barry Mulholland was an Australian racing driver.
While a skilled racing driver, Mulholland was more infamously known as Bruce McPhee's 'contractual obligation' co-driver. In endurance production touring cars McPhee raced in during the 1960s which required two drivers, Mulholland would drive one lap at approximate mid-distance before handing the car back to McPhee. Mulholland holds the record for fewest completed laps to win a Bathurst 500 when he co-drove with McPhee to win the 1968 Bathurst 500. Mulholland later owned the car that won the race in 1968, and died aged 65.
Mulholland drove just 5 racing laps in the Bathurst 500 between 1963 and 1968, with the enviable finishing record of 6th, 2nd, 3rd, 1st and finally 2nd in 1969.
