Why was it a disaster for fans??

Bathurst had had class based numbering systems for many many years previously. Even in the Group C days the over 3-Litre class had the lower numbers, the 2-3 litre class had the next lot of numbers etc etc... the numbering rules were not different for Bathurst 1988, it was just that no one with a 'famous' number had had to change prior to Bathurst 1988.....

Probably the first year Bathurst numbers weren't based around classes would have been 1992.
