The Volvo team expanded to two cars for the Adelaide round, open-wheel ace John Bowe brought in to pilot a newly-imported RHD car. Brock was back, as was Brad Jones in an ex-factory Mitsubishi Starion.

Brock took pole and dominated most of the race, a certain win evaporating with a blown engine on lap 46. Unfortunately, Brock elected to enter the pits from the wrong end (something that's easy to do due to the layout of AIR) and was disqualified so he lost fastest lap honours, too.

Both Nissans retired, while Bowe lost half a lap down the escape road at the end of the straight; he'd mistakenly adjusted the brake bias the wrong way and arrived at turn one with all the braking at the rear...

Through it all came Francevic, taking his third win from four races. Second went to Crosby, who recovered well after running wide at turn one.
