The
1986 Australian Touring Car Championship was won by Auckland resident
Robbie Francevic driving a factory backed Volvo 240T, the first time
the championship had been won by a non-Australian resident and the
first ATCC won by a turbocharged car.
Francevic came out of retirement in 1985 and this year won three races
early in the season, but when George Fury and his Nissan Skyline DR30
came to speed they won five races though the lack of early-season
reliability cost them the title. The Nissan had been under development
for a year but now it nearly paid off.
