There were even Sierra and Capri V8s from Seeth Efrica.
The Beeb used to show Bathurst every year in the 80s (for a while the Europeans went there regularly, so as well as the Aussie heavy metal there were works BMW 635s and Tom Walkinshaw's Jag XJSs, weird stuff like Eggenberger's turbo Volvo 240s (imagine a Vogon Constructor Ship on wheels...) and then the RS500s...) but there were so many baccy ads around the circuit, on the cars, painted on the dashboards, and even scrolling around the screen, that they stopped. Bloody brilliant, especially with the hysterically funny local commentary.
They showed it a couple of times when the Aussies were trying Super Touring for a couple of years, but whingeing little 2l repmobiles didn't look right round the mountain!
