It's supposed to the Australian Touring Car Championship... Skyline! BMW! Alfa Romeo! Ford Cosworth Turbo! Jaguar! All that good stuff!



Surely it's a perversion that some powers-that-be decided to turn it into the Australian Falcon & Commodore championship.

I don't know it or like it all that much...

Wouldn't you prefer BMWs, Ford turbos, Volvo turbos, Mitsubishi turbos, Toyota turbos and Nissans turbos going at it?

How can not providing a turbocharged capacity equivalence and thereby rendering a fleet of Sierras, Skylines, Supras & Starions touring cars ineligible be considered acceptable!?

The variety of manufacturers was far more fun than samey pushrod crossplane V8s, with road-going "homologation specials" (HDT VK SS) that were generally fairly softly sprung and didn't handle anything like the pukka tourer...
