Was always a Volvo Australia backed effort with the cars prepared by George Shepherd. Ex TWR BTCC cars were sourced, Tony Scott raced a 850 wagon in 95, Brock an 850 sedan in 96, and Jim Richards an 850 in 97 and S40 in 98 and 99.

Recall that it was a global withdrawal as a result of FISA changing the turbo equaliation formula which would have increased its weight.
