Supercars claims all the touring car history as their own....even Bathurst history as their own.....

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...
