The Rx 7 in this race was built two doors down from where I lived in the mid-eighties, I even went for a drive around the block in it one day after school. Barry Campbell built a lot of cars in the sports sedan series

I've never seen these monsters before now I'm hooked lol just brilliant ☺️

[@chuckyboy6977]

The Aussie version of the UK’s Thunder saloons, wide bodies, big V8s or big turbos. The Vauxhall factory dipped a toe into the series too. A can-a series for saloons.

Lots of old favourites in this race, both Sports Sedans and old Group C cars

And, How long did the rest of the world take to catch up to the wide body stance? Good stuff Aussies!

" A Valiant of all things" "he'll be celebrating tenth place with pizza's for all the boys tonight " . Arrogant smartasses.

Great to see these cars again. Am I correct in guessing the 3rd commentator was journalist Peter McKay? From memory it sounded like him.

[@Crayfish3D]

How does this class differ from Group 5 regs, or was this the Aus category of Gr5 rules?

[@jadesmith6823]

What's running Rusty French's ride?

[@ezacher4634]

That Jag looks more like a drag car!

[@darren2514fv]

The RX7s are old Gr C Tourers

[@arnautm7073]

group 5 I guess

Familiar cars and names. I raced against most of those cars and or drivers inc James Philip who got a better and was on similar speed to the lead cars.
That Alfa was a true handgrenade,, very fast until it blew up!!
Domonic could drive a little too!! It was a loose thing.
And the Jag seemed to have the oil spray on as well!
