I was enthralled at the GTR's abilities as a teenager. At the time, Bathurst was a production car race, it was several races in one with the different classes. Anyone who watched could see the potential of their favourite car, from the NA four banger corollas to the eternal kings of the mountain, the GTRs. The irony is that there was already an AWD turbo car in that race, it had a ford badge on it, and was allowed to race...........even though it was never available in the Aussie market. The fact that the Japanese had engineered a production car that could spank everything, and did so very reliably, should have been the catalyst for domestic car improvement and a glimpse into the trend of technology vs the old formula of more cylinders/displacement. When they banned these cars I tuned out, I have never watched the V8 'stupidcars' as it is an insult to the intelligence of anyone with a triple digit IQ.

Steve Johnson, Australia kept Group A Racing going until the end of 1992, 2 years after Germany gave Grp A the flick, this is an established fact. It was the FIA that abolished turbos in Group A Racing, Australia/CAMS didn't act unilaterally on that. It wasn't really the GTR that saw the demise of Group A, it was just the straw that broke the camel's back. The real problem was the dominance of the Ford Sierra RS500 in Europe......chiefly Germany and Britian. 3/4's of the field in the BTCC and the German TCC were Sierras. Did the GTR lay Australian tracks to waste in Group A? Yeah they did. But so did Johnson and Bowe before them in Sierras. As did Andy Rouse did in Britain in a Sierra......and the Texaco Sierras did in Germany
@michaelwilson79245 жыл бұрын
Both Germany and Britain gave group A the flick at the end of 1990, that's just the way it happened. Australian Motor Racing Fan's unwillingness to adopt Group A racing, had nothing to do with that. The close racing the FIA told motor racing fans that Group A would provide, never materialised. The dominance of the Ford Sierra in Britian and Germany effectively killed Group A Racing. In 1989 in the BTCC, literally every car on the grid was a Sierra. It's also true that CAMS in Australia persisted with Group A 2 years after Britain and Germany killed it off. Australian bogan motor racing fans had nothing to do with CAMS giving Group A the flick, that's ignorant, errant nonsense. CAMS simply followed suit by killing it off.....just like Britain and Germany did two years earlier

What an awesome car the GTR was and still is, however it was never a wise decision to compete it against the v8s of the time. The AWD and high tech v6 twin turbo was never going to make this a fair contest which is why they got banned. The v8s were great in their own way and sound awesome. Clearly if the GTR continued the situation probably would have got worse and the fans would have left in the droves. Obviously the powers that be at the time understood that critical point and accepted the unfair advantage of the GTR. Dial the turbo up and you have as much grunt as you need. Simples.

it only became "unfair" when Nissan proved that maybe cast-iron pushrod V8s weren't the ultimate!

when the gtr was designed the turbo multiplication factor was 1.7... meaning it equated the 2.6 to 4.4 Lt.. really they should have also limited boost to around 10 psi.. instead they were running anywhere from 17 to 27 bar ... this approximates to 5.7 to 7.5 Lt equivelancy factor.. for more competative racing the boost on the nissan needed to be way reduced.. and then varied to get fairer racing
