With Grice i think it was more he didn't really see the need to drop Group C. Also in early 1985 he was heavily involved in the running of the ARDC, had opened up a new business on the Central Coast, and also had a minor fishing accident.
He was just mainly hanging back and waiting to see the lie of the land with Group A before deciding what to do. With the chance to go to Europe, i think his interest was raised.
His team, Roadways, also adopted a wait and see approach, they helped out with the Mark Petch Volvo during the season as well as converting and building some Group A VK's, the Bathurst effort was done in conjunction with Warren Cullen's team as well. His main 1985 racing amounted to just the Nissan-backed Pulsar ET series (won by Jim Richards)
