There seems to be a good supply of rose tinted glasses in this forum.
the 5 litre v8 formula was brought in as Group A was killing racing.
The crowds were down in a big way, promoters were complaining entries were thin and fans couldnt relate to sierras and gtrs and bmw etc
They had to "load" the rules to make the holden competitive or nobody would go.
the 5litre v8 formula was almost a panic to save touring car racing.
Unfortunately they seemed to have lost "touring cars" in the process.
