4.3      AUSTRALIAN ONLY RECORDS POST-NOVEMBER 1984

These National records are recognised as being set within the guidelines laid out by the FIA and adopted by CAMS in November 1983.  All of these records are open to challenge, however they are not FIA recognised record distances and can therefore only be classed as National records recognised by CAMS.

4.4      RECORDS ESTABLISHED AT FORD PROVING GROUND

These records can not be challenged because they were not set under the FIA rules and conditions that came into force after November 1983.  Further, records established at this venue are deemed to have an unfair advantage over other venues under conditions that do not truly test all aspects of a vehicle during a record attempt.
