Group C had little or no future beyond 1984, the only manufacturers with any real committment beyond then were Holden & Nissan. Group A was the only way forward.


1986 seems to be an anomally (which i'll admit i overlooked), as the Martin's Mercedes ran #14 & Colin Bond's Alfa ran #75, but there were other number changes in the field to fall into line with 'class numbers' in 1986. In 1985 for example Robbie Francevic changed from his #21 in the ATCC to #55 for the enduro's, due to his class. Same with Colin Bond that same year, having run #26 in the ATCC, he had to run #47 at Bathurst.
