History
Nations Cup evolved from the GT Production category, which was created in 1995 by category managers PROCAR Australia. For 2000, PROCAR split The Australian GT Production Car Championship into two separate series so that the more exotic GT cars such as Porsche 911s and Ferrari 360s could compete in the new Australian Nations Cup Championship and the lesser vehicles such as the Mitsubishi Lancers and Subaru Imprezas could now compete for outright wins in the revised Australian GT Production Car Championship.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The greatest horrors in the history of mankind are not due to the ambition of the Napoleons or the vengeance of the Agamemnons, but to the doctrinaire philosophers. The theories of the sentimentalist Rousseau inspired the integrity of the passionless Robespierre. The cold-blooded calculations of Karl Marx led to the judicial and business-like operations of the Cheka.”
—Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)
“Spain is an overflow of sombreness ... a strong and threatening tide of history meets you at the frontier.”
—Wyndham Lewis (1882–1957)
“There has never been in history another such culture as the Western civilization M a culture which has practiced the belief that the physical and social environment of man is subject to rational manipulation and that history is subject to the will and action of man; whereas central to the traditional cultures of the rivals of Western civilization, those of Africa and Asia, is a belief that it is environment that dominates man.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
