People forget 1982 was the year BROCK was disqualified for cheating using illegal parts for 6 of the ATCC rounds and CAMS moved on that scrutineer in time for the endurance races.

In 1980, Australian's donated $72,000 to Dick after what happened at Bathurst. Edsel Ford II, then boss of Ford Australia, matched it dollar for dollar giving dick a windfall of $144,000 to build a new car and be able to race. He repaid the faith by winning the ATCC and Bathurst in 1981. Dick would add another 4 ATCC's and 2 Bathurst's by the time he hung up the helmet.

Brock's Ego made him think he WAS HOLDEN...he even thought he actually BÙILT the Car's...when all he did was Stick plastic bits and bolted other bits on a Car that was already Mass Produced...I'm almost certain he thought Holden would fold without him...he was WRONG

Your on the money, and with HSV + GMH coming to contractual terms very quickly and smoothly seamlessly in essence continuing on as if it were a relatively minor bump bringing enhanced models to the public compliant to all bodies. The left field media regarding Peter Brock being vegetarian, crystals, pyramids, meditation whirlwind they continued on with night after night focusing on implying he had fallen out of the crazy tree branch by branch. This turning on Brock a national hero so quickly and unbalanced with a GMH HSV bias makes you wonder. I was a major Ford fan back then loving the Hardtops and remember it clearly thinking the enemy Brock had been hard done by at Holden with the distinct feeling there had been some head office corporate and engineering departments executives that had turned the knife in Brock having had their individual noses out of joint from Brock's direct nature or jealousy for his public recognition when they were running the race teams collaborating designing & building race cars when Peter was the major highly succesful poster boy for Holden 🤔.

By the time the Director was released, the IRS setup was the issue more so than the Polariser (ADR compliance being what it is), so it was somewhat ironic that once Brock released the car and scuppered his relationship with Holden's, all the Directors he sold (and there weren't many) all had live rear axles.

@@SS-yw7vo I admit I had the Greens tuf car poster on my wall for a long time. But I much prefer the Marlboro commodore looks wise on the track. Hasn’t dated like the falcon. The VH I think was great. And the glo orange, was it VK. But I also liked the Nissan Bluebird, that looked good kitted out, speaking of bricks on wheels. And the JPS bmw. Basically all of them it was a great era. But I really loved the XC Moffatt falcons. Him and Colin Bond 1,2.

The Polarizer was only a smoke screen to hide what was really happening. GMH wanted full control of HDT Special Vehicles. They finally saw the market potential that Brock & Harvey had created with the enhanced performance vehicles. The split was ugly for that reason. Brock saw the potential to Export his Performance vehicles That was territory GMH hadn't yet conquered, they were exporting engine's but not complete cars yet. So for a small operation to be successful in exporting it's performance vehicles & the parent company not having yet explored that avenue you can see why GMH wanted full control of HDT Special Vehicles.
