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
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.
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!

Lots of old favourites in this race, both Sports Sedans and old Group C cars
" A Valiant of all things" "he'll be celebrating tenth place with pizza's for all the boys tonight " . Arrogant smartasses.
And, How long did the rest of the world take to catch up to the wide body stance? Good stuff Aussies!
amazing cars
Great to see these cars again. Am I correct in guessing the 3rd commentator was journalist Peter McKay? From memory it sounded like him.
What's running Rusty French's ride?
How does this class differ from Group 5 regs, or was this the Aus category of Gr5 rules?
The RX7s are old Gr C Tourers
group 5 I guess
That Jag looks more like a drag car!
