Am I right in thinking that the RS2000 and Dolly Sprint were one year special exemptions in Australia only, in order to help boost grid sizes in 1985?

I'm pretty sure that both cars homolgation for G1 had expired in 1983 IIRC, so I'm assuming might not have ever been eligible for GrpA officially.

With the Holden/Isuzu Gemini were these cars related to the Chevette/Kadett in Europe. I haven't seen any close up shots recently but memory tells me they were very similar?
