I agree. Wasn't the excuse used by CAMS was that an E36 with a 2.5 litre engine didn't fit into any international set of regulations so couldn't be run here? The fact that no VP Commodore or EB Falcon was homologated into any international set of regs didn't seem to be an issue though

Obviously CAMS just wanted them to pad out the grid.... but considering that BMW fronted for 1993 with more official works cars than Ford or Holden, to treat them the way they were was disgraceful (not to mention they'd just run Nissan out of the sport too)
