The 1992 Australian Touring Car season was the 33rd year of touring car racing in Australia since the first runnings of the Australian Touring Car Championship and the fore-runner of the present day Bathurst 1000, the Armstrong 500.
There were 12 touring car race meetings held during 1992; a nine round series, the 1992 Australian Touring Car Championship (ATCC); a support programme event at the 1992 Australian Grand Prix and two stand alone long distance races, nicknamed 'enduros'.
1992 was the last year of the FIA's Group A touring cars in Australia. Group A, which had been Australia's touring car category since 1985, was to be replaced by the 5.0 Litre V8 Group 3A Touring Cars (the fore-runner of V8 Supercars) from 1993.
Famous quotes containing the words australian, car and/or season:
“Beyond the horizon, or even the knowledge, of the cities along the coast, a great, creative impulse is at work—the only thing, after all, that gives this continent meaning and a guarantee of the future. Every Australian ought to climb up here, once in a way, and glimpse the various, manifold life of which he is a part.”
—Vance Palmer (1885–1959)
“If a man, cautious,
hides his limp,
Somebody has to limp it! Things
do it; the surroundings limp.
House walls get scars,
the car breaks down; matter, in drudgery, takes it up.”
—Robert Bly (b. 1926)
“Only he who has had the good fortune to read them in the nick of time, in the most perceptive and recipient season of life, can give any adequate account of them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
