Oran Park is the same sans a couple of sponsor stickers on the front wings. There are a couple of photos on www.autopics.com.au that show what the Oran Park scheme looks like.

I am pretty happy with the strictness of the rules, otherwise you may as well allow replicas to race, that is all the cars end up being once you stray too far from their original spec. They aren't concerned so much about whether the spec matches the race, as long as it matches the same year, race to race would be a bit hard. I have about 8 photos of the engine bay of the Supra over the 1984-87 period, and every one is slightly different as various mods were trialed, or for different length races.

I also didnt mind that car in the colours of National/Technics when it arrived at Bathurst in 1984.... black nose.. black tail... the rest in white... there are a couple of pics of it in the Great Race book of 1984
