The 1989 Australian Touring Car season was the 30th year of touring car racing in Australia since the first runnings of the Australian Touring Car Championship and the fore-runner of the present day Bathurst 1000, the Armstrong 500.
There were 12 touring car race meetings held during 1990; an eight-round series, the 1989 Australian Touring Car Championship (ATCC); a support programme event at the 1989 Australian Grand Prix and three long-distance races, nicknamed 'enduros'.
The 1989 Australian touring car season consisted of 12 events.
This meeting was a support event of the 1989 Australian Grand Prix. This was the first time that the Group A cars ran two races at the Australian Grand Prix meeting, one on the Saturday afternoon and the second on the Sunday morning.[1][2]
