Actually Holden and Ford did create the series. Back when we had Supras, Skylines, Sprinters, RX7's etc racing at Bathurst, they were competing as part of the international Group A formula. Group A was disbanded in the early 90's, largely due to falling interest, and it was replaced locally by the V8 Supercar formula. The rules of this formula basically restrict the participants to Ford and Holden.
It's a common misconception that the GTR's etc were "banned" because they kept beating the local cars. Nothing was banned, Group A simply ceased to exist.
|
It's probably worth noting that the falling interest was attributable to the GTRs et al winning...The "bogans" (after all, the people to whom much of the marketing is directed) started to drift away when the locally "produced" cars became uncompetitive; thus a formula had to concocted to cater to this "base" (emphasis on "base"). Hence, V8 Supercars was born...
