The ATTC was still a one race event at this stage unlike the later series of rounds with points accumulated to decide the winner. The 1964 race attracted a large field including favourites Bob Jane ( Jag MK2 ) . Jim Mckeown ( Lotus - Cortina ), Norm Beechey ( EH-S4 ) and Brian Muir ( EH-S4 ) but it was Ian ( Pete ) Geoghegan in a 2dr Cortina GT who took a narrow win from Stormin-Normans S4.The race was unusual for this time as the cars actually had to turn their on lights towards race completion due to the late starting time and finished in semi-darkness. The Geoghegan car was was hastily prepared from a Ford Motor Company fleet car owing to the write off of the Team Geoghegan 4dr Cortina GT in practice at Oran Park the week before.
