1985 Bathurst 1,000 – Group A weapons a long way from home
There’s always an air of higher stakes when a motorsport discipline has travelled hundreds or even thousands of miles from more familiar territories, to battle it out in front of audiences from afar. Formula 1, being the comprehensively international discipline that it is, is of course, exempt from this.
In the video above, Like the NFL coming to the UK, Group A cars hammering Bathurst at first appears strange. The dreary drizzly climate more befitting of a Jaguar XJS or a Volvo 240 is gone, in favour of relentless Aussie heat haze. Of course, Bathurst offers the twist of more left-field entries taking to its swooping turns alongside conventional (is there such a thing?) Group A machinery. Mustang Foxbody, we’re looking at you. We can’t wait to see some of these animals in action at 75MM.
