The VL Walkinshaw was properly homologated, Holden built and sold over 700 of the evolution VL Walkinshaw's easily meeting the FIA criteria, it was the VN that was stopped at 302 after approval from CAMS that still kept it eligible in Australian Group A.

Because by the time the VN was homologated at the beginning of 1991, the only major Championships still running Group A regulations outside of Australia were Germany and Japan. It didn't matter that the cars weren't eligible outside of Australia because no one used them.
