GpA was dead by 1993. Killed by Formula Sierra and then the dominance of the Nissans. Supras & Starions & Alfa 75s were never competitive despite the welcome variety provided.
The world was going to 2 litre Supertourers and Australias car market was dominated by Falcons & Commodores.
V8 supercars served Australia well for 25 years .

We had two manufacturers tipping in money and WANTING to be involved, a way SHOULD have been found to include them in the outright class for 1993 and beyond, not just as an unwelcome field filler (in BMWs case) and tell one they weren’t wanted.
Also shows how little influence the teams association (TCI) has in the early 90s...
