Yeah I was thinking the same thing! He did drive a seirra in 1990 though after the fallout with HDT over the infamous brock polariser!!! So maybe that is what was part of the set?? I could look kind of like a GTR....maybe :

Yeah I had that slot car set, was a brock/mobil sierra and a dick johnson/shell one i think

Just to clear things up:

In 1987 Brock drove a VL Commodore (The first VL homologation car - not the Walkinshaw Batmobile) for the season. He finished third at Bathurst, but was promoted to first when the two Texaco Sierras were rubbed out. His car was massively slower than Alan Grice's equivalent that year (The one Win Percy put into the wall at McPhillamy Allan Moffat style in practice)

In 1988 he drove a BMW M3 with Jim Richards. These were the cars Frank Gardner abondoned at the end of the previous year when they changed over to Sierra's.

In 1989 & 90 he drove Sierra's with most of the engineering done by Andy Rouse. One of the years (Can;t remember which) he won pole after the fire extinguisher "accidently" emptied itself onto the intercooler during Hardies Heroes or Toohey's Top Gun or whatever it was called that year.

In 1991 he drove a VN Commodore prepared by Larry Perkins. This is when Larry famously bitch slapped Tomas Mezera after bringing the car back with a stuffed engine. Sensibly, Tomas was wearing his full face helmet at the time. :D

In 1992 he drove a VP Commodore prepared to the then new V8 formula - it lunched its pushrods...
