you just made random dates to suit your argument regarding bathurst winners
Once again its really irrelevant. this is not a comparison of Group A to Supercars, Group A is dead, it wont be back, lessons were learnt and now we have a really popular series

The 1991 Touring Car Season in Australia had the following winners:-
Skaife
Richards
Longhurst
Gibbs / Onslow
3 Teams and 5 drivers.
Yes I have included all of the races held to make a valid comparison.
Yes we have a popular series with the fans, which is great, but a series which is on the nose with the manufacturers.
What needs to change to attract the manufacturers back to the sport?
The following marques had factory or semi-factory in Australia representation during those failed Group A years. Not bad for an unpopular formula with no supporters.
- Nissan
- Holden
- Toyota
- Mitsubishi
- Alfa Romeo
- Volvo
- Audi
- BMW
Maybe the question is how do we combine the strength of Group A (Manufacturer support) with the strength of Supercars (Fan support)?
