This race was the first breakaway "Thundersports" event effectively wasn't it? It could have been called a TraNZam event as well on the telecast, i have the race on DVD but haven't watched it in ages.
It was a huge array of machinery, from the top Sports Sedans to GT cars to the Mark Petch-owned Merkur TraNZam car which, from memory, ran from the back of the field but stormed through.
Group A participation wise, The three Benson & Hedges BMWs of Longhurst, Jones and Morris competed, so too did Kevin Waldock in the Playscape Sierra, the Wilmington Supra...any others?
