Amazing variety of cars which resemble "real" road passenger cars, with an equivalence formula of weight/engine size that seems to work very well (just as it does in Improved Production to this day)!

The fans seem to love the touring cars too -- check out the packed stands!

Funny what a series of incremental changes (5.0L as main/only class, wings, franchises/RECs, sequential boxes, COTF spaceframes, composite panels) can do... Supercars is (almost? completely?) beyond recognition as touring cars.

Perhaps a new series should be started as an actual Australian Touring Car Championship, so we could have actual Touring Car racing just as Series Production and Improved Production continue in their intended forms to this day?

Well you could just go to Bathurst this weekend and get your fix of this. or watch it on fox

Time as moved on, its 30 years later.
