The Rx 7 in this race was built two doors down from where I lived in the mid-eighties, I even went for a drive around the block in it one day after school. Barry Campbell built a lot of cars in the sports sedan series
The Aussie version of the UK’s Thunder saloons, wide bodies, big V8s or big turbos. The Vauxhall factory dipped a toe into the series too. A can-a series for saloons.
Familiar cars and names. I raced against most of those cars and or drivers inc James Philip who got a better and was on similar speed to the lead cars. That Alfa was a true handgrenade,, very fast until it blew up!! Domonic could drive a little too!! It was a loose thing. And the Jag seemed to have the oil spray on as well!

I've never seen these monsters before now I'm hooked lol just brilliant ☺️
Lots of old favourites in this race, both Sports Sedans and old Group C cars
And, How long did the rest of the world take to catch up to the wide body stance? Good stuff Aussies!
You have done it again! awesome upload - thanks
amazing cars

Great to see these cars again. Am I correct in guessing the 3rd commentator was journalist Peter McKay? From memory it sounded like him.
What's running Rusty French's ride?
How does this class differ from Group 5 regs, or was this the Aus category of Gr5 rules?
The RX7s are old Gr C Tourers
group 5 I guess
That Jag looks more like a drag car!
