The 1982 Australian Touring Car Championship was a CAMS sanctioned motor racing title open to Group C Touring Cars.〔Conditions for Australian Titles, 1982 CAMS manual of Motor Sport, pages 87–91〕 It began on 18 February 1982 at Sandown Raceway and ended on 16 May at Oran Park Raceway after eight rounds.〔Australian Motor Racing Year 1982/83, pages 130–147〕 The title, which was the 23rd Australian Touring Car Championship, was won by defending champion Dick Johnson, driving a Ford XD Falcon. Peter Brock had actually scored more points than Johnson throughout the championship in his Holden Dealer Team Commodores (both the VC and VH SS models). However, the use of not yet homologated engine heads on the cars saw him disqualified from all but two rounds of the championship. The matter between CAMS and the HDT ended in court with Brock agreeing to the loss of points and the championship in order to avoid a three month suspension for himself and the team which would have actually excluded them from entering the James Hardie 1000 at Bathurst. Allan Moffat's win in Round 5 at Lakeside was the first ever ATCC win by a Mazda with their RX-7 model and the first ever ATCC race win by a Japanese car. Under 3000cc class competitor Bob Holden finished second in the championship. Though he would finish no higher than 8th outright in any race, consistent class wins and placings and the bonus points that came with them saw him finish second on 36 points, 21 behind Johnson and 5 points in front of both Moffat and the Channel 9 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 of Kevin Bartlett. ==Teams and drivers== The following teams and drivers competed in the 1982 Australian Touring Car Championship. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1982 Australian Touring Car Championship」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
