This all came about because Holden was too successful (IMO).. They cripple Holden's cars and make it so everyone gets points just to make it competitive..
And before that they made it only Holden's and Ford's because of how badly the Aussies got owned in the wet by the AWD Godzilla's.. I don't think it's right, I sorely miss Group A and am just upset I wasn't old enough to enjoy it when it was around.
These are both the reasons why I don't support "V8 Super Cars".. neither manufacturer even sells a car with a 5.0 litre engine anymore, and certainly no where near 500+bhp.. Instead of making the cars better (at least homologate people, jeez) to compete with the Japanese and Europeans they just kicked them out.. Argh
Still, go Rick Kelly.. kick their arses
