Allan Moffat was Ford’s main man throughout the 1970s, firstly in his distinctive Trans-Am Mustang and later in a succession of Falcon V8s, winning three ATCC titles during that time. Then in the 1980s, after a long campaign to race the Mazda RX-7 in Australian touring car racing, the Canadian born racer took to the wheel of this little 1.2-litre rotary-powered sports coupe from Japan. Moffat’s speed and determination, combined with the nimble handling of the lightweight Mazda, proved a formidable match for his V8-powered rivals, holding them off to secure his fourth ATCC title in 1983.
