1992 Australian Touring Car Championship

[3] Mark Skaife, driving a Nissan Skyline GT-R for Gibson Motorsport, won his first Australian Touring Car Championship.

His teammate and defending series champion Jim Richards finished second, with BMW M3 driver Tony Longhurst in third place.

Gibson Motorsport continually protested against the imposed penalties on the car (after winning the ATCC the cars were given an extra 100 kg to bring them 1500), and even took CAMS to court (unsuccessfully) in a bid to be able to run the GT-R as they were in 1991 claiming that they were no longer competitive.

Round positions were determined by applying the same points structure to each of the two heats and ranking the drivers by the total.

In the event of two or more drivers having the same total, the round placing was determined by the finishing order in the second heat.

Mark Skaife leads teammate Jim Richards at the Oran Park round, on his way to securing the 1992 Australian Touring Car Championship.
