DNQ should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Interesting that only four races from 1993 will be on the 2004 Calendar. Quite sad really.

Well ... the biggest moments:

1992 - Bathurst/Sandown - debut of the V8 racing cars
1993 - First Season of V8 supercars
1993-1999 - TOCA/AVESCO battles
1997 - Switch to Channel 10 coverage
1999 - Launch of Adelaide V8 Supercar round
1999-2002 - Parity issues, Project Blueprint etc
1999-2002 - No V8 Sandown 500
2003 - Ford win the series - VY/BA debuts

General:

- Grice/Crompton/Longuhst/Brock/Perkins/Johnson/Richards/ etc retire from full time V8 racing, ushering in a new era of stars.
- Increasing commercialisation of the series.
- The TWR empire.
- Loss of cigarette sponsorship.
- Bathurst given Championship status
- Loss of Shell title sponsorship
