I'm somewhat intriegued by the American Flying Tigers Toyota Celica Supra entry. As there never were an American Group A series, where would this car be based? Flying Tigers were seen on the 1981 World Endurance winning Bob Garretson Porsche 935s - any relations to this entry?

Interesting one. Flying Tigers sponsored many F3 entires for the Macua F3 GP in the 80's (Damon Hill's Murray Taylor Racing car being one of the more famous ones) so I wonder if there's any link between the Bathurst entry and the Guia Grp A race that would've been a few weeks later?
