1989 Australian Group A Touring Car Races - Discussion & Results

[Jesper OH]

With the current pace, entries for 1989 are open. The Dick Johnson Sierras are once more the cars to beat, but new Ford man Peter Brock works up plenty of speed over the season in former Andy Rouse equipment. The Longhurst/Gardner B&H RS500s prove very fast, if less reliable. The HR31 Skyline proves very reliable, but not fast enough, and looses their Peter Jackson sponsorship to former team driver Glenn Seton and his new RS500 team. No involvement from BMW Australia so the M3 are reduced to a class car for privateers. Meanwhile the Holden factory team spends the entire ATCC season working out its status within the GM conclomerate.

Thank you, William, for remind me of the nead of these Aussie threads - you most have been preparing for them for a while!
