I do recall that by the time of the last Turbo Years race in '85, the teams were getting somewhat hesitant about being seen to race under the apartheid regime.

The 1985 race was right at the end of the season. The championship had been decided in Alain Prost's favour, and so there was some debate amongst drivers and team personnel about whether it was worth attending.

On the day, the Ligier team was the only one that didn't show, although Prost himself was on the record as saying that if it was up to him he wouldn't be racing.
