The highlight of that season for me was 2 race in particular. The first being the winton round of the championship were Nissan were very much on the pace. In the wet race though it wasn't Richards who did the business, he was out after a first lap crash with Glenn Seton, but George Fury who won his last ATCC round in a great drive. The other highlight of the day was the Grice Longhurst incident were Grice punted Longhurst off at the Racing Car News esses. Then back in the pits Longhursts team manger went up to tell Grice he wasn't happy with the comment "YOU NEVER CHAGE DO YOU" and proceeded to jab him with a golf unbrella.
The other race was the Sunday Group A race at the Adelaide Grand Prix were Longhurst and Colin Bond had a fantastic battle in appalling conditions. Bondy had had a dreadful year trying to get his Motec Management System working on the Sierra but showed all at Adelaide that day the talent that bought him 3 Australian Rally Championships with awesome car control
