Jim Richards drove the Skyline HR31 in the first six rounds of the 1990 season before switching to the Skyline R32 GT-R for the final two rounds, claiming Nissan’s first-ever championship in the season finale at Oran Park.
The Gibson Motorsport-run Nissan Skylines became the dominant force in the final years of the Group A era, with the Skyline HR31 GTS-R introduced in 1988, featuring a turbocharged straight-six engine, paving the way for the all-conquering Skyline R32 GT-R.
Steven Richards will make his Adelaide Motorsport Festival debut in 2025, driving the Skyline HR31 on track and appearing in the Adelaide Marriott Grand Marquee off track. He followed in his father’s footsteps, winning the Bathurst 1000 five times in addition to the Bathurst 24 Hour. Together the Richards’ have 12 Bathurst 1000 wins.
The 2025 Repco Adelaide Motorsport Festival will once again feature various categories, ranging from Formula 1 cars, V8 Supercars, sportscars, touring cars, motorbikes and more with the action non-stop without a break in track activity at any stage of the day. Off track there will be car displays, kids' zones, bars and food trucks, exhibitors and traders, activations and more, in a picnic in the park setting.
