1993 made way for the new local rules of racing, reintroducing the big Australian V8 big bangers. Years of Group A racing saw irrelevant cars racing in a series that was too expensive to maintain. This was first time hostilities were restarted between Ford and local rival GM-H since 1984's Group C was put to bed.
The series was aimed at racing cars that Australian's could identify with and a formula that would allow a level palying field.
GSR was the Ford team that fired the first V8 salvo, racing the V8 alongside the agile Ford Sierra at Bathurst 1992. The early development on the Falcon gave Glenn Seton a head start on the field. Including Holden Racing Team, a team which was still racing the V8 Commodore before the localised formula began.

Glenn Seton was leading the Sandown 500 until he was forced to retire.
