Either way, the 1998 AMP 1000 two-car entry was a complete TWR effort, with practically the whole BTCC team coming out with the local ATSC/Shepheard effort lending a hand. |

In conclusion, TWR Australia had nothing to do with the Volvo team.
Having said that, they did allow Mr Brock to pedal one on the odd occasion... |

TWR UK also sent people to work on the Australian program - and as has been stated the 1998 Bathurst 1000 which delivered of the greatest Bathurst races of all time delivering Jim Richards his 7th Bathurst 1000. |

George Sheppard (Roadsafe) ran the Australian Volvo program, dating back to the 850s that ran in the 12hr for a couple of years. It was the success of that program that lead them into running the Super Tourers from '95-onwards. All additional technical and personel support were provided by TWR in the UK.
Bathurts of '97 and '98 were a mish-mash of TWR UK and Roadsafe. There was no TWR Australia involvement. I'm not sure where Brock fits into this. May have been a TWR thing, or just simply employed directly by Volvo Cars Australia. |

Any chance you boys can go over to historic racing and discuss what happen in the 80's?
