The 1992 Don't Drink Drive Sandown 500 was an endurance motor race open to Group 3A Touring Cars, 1993 Group 3A 5.0 Litre Touring Cars and Group 3E Series Production Cars. It was held at the Sandown International Motor Raceway, in Victoria, Australia, on 13 September 1992, over 136 laps of the 3.1 km circuit, 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, but it was significantly delayed by several periods of slow running behind the pace car. With the Sandown circuit operating under an Environmental Protection Agency curfew of 5pm, the race was shortened to 136 laps.
