Would this be earlier than the earliest car in the DJRTP museum? Maybe it could go home.

It was raced by Morris in the 1979 ATCC, so the car can claim Championship heritage even if it wasn't the one he used at AIR to wrap up the title in 1979, Morris also used the car in his successful 1979 AMSCAR title win too

Some pondering thoughts that came to me after reading this weeks "Saturday Sleuthing" about the Paul Morris Diet Coke E30 M3 Evo from the 1993 ATCC
- Obviously the car has competed in Heritage Touring Cars in it's 1992 DTM specifications & livery...but presumebly it would not be able to race in it's 1993 ATCC specifications and Diet Coke livery in HTC... As ridiculous as this might sound, is there any scope in the regulations for the "Australia 5-Litre Touring Car Association" or the burgeoning historic class in the "Kuhmo Series" for the 1993-spec ATCC M3's to compete with the V8s? - The 2.5ltr E36 bodied BMW that Paul Morris drove at the 1992 AGP. Obviously not a homologated Group A car, it AFAIK was entered in the Group A class for the 1992 AGP event (as opposed to the HRT VPs, Brock VP, Seton & DJR EB's that were in their own class that weekend)... does that technically make this car eligible to compete in that spec in HTC should the bodyshell be found & converted back? |

Wasn't that E36 one of the VLM cars from the BTCC?

People race Corolla's in HTC against GTRs, so I don't see why, if someone owned one of the 1993 Diet Coke E30's and wanted to race them in the '93-spec with Diet Coke colours, they would be put off running with 5ltr cars. I don't really see anyone wanting to do it, it is more a question of where do these cars fit into the historic scene should someone want to run one? |

Yeah, as '93-spec cars, they fall into no-man's land.

Anyway, I think it is more appealing to run your E30 M3 in 2.5L Group A spec than 2.0L Super Tourer (or pre-Super Tourer) spec. |

The cars they ran in '93 were grandfathered DTM cars, not Group A cars.
They're not even Super Tourers. There's no real demand for a historic Super Touring class here, as there's hardly any cars left. There's maybe 8 known cars still here, but many have vanished into thin air. Of the 8, there's maybe 4 tops, that are in working order. |

There is apparently a plan in the works for Super Tourers to be racing at Wakefield Park later this year. With some cars from NZ coming over, I have heard that organisers are expecting about 18-20 cars.
