The thunderous Group C had come to an end in 1984 (Peter Brock called 1984 The Last of The Big Bangers), and in its place was Group A, an internationally-based class that put overseas cars on equal footing with Australian makes. The race had a record field of 25 top overseas touring car drivers, and their vehicles included the 3-car Jaguar TWR team headed-up by Tom Walkinshaw, Armin Hahne and locals John Goss and Ron Dickson.
