The race aka Apartheid Grand Prix
Last GP staged on other than a Sunday, saturday
French team Renault and Ligier boycotted the race, also RAM and Zakspeed but they also failed to race in the Australian finale due to lack of budget... Arrows sponsor Barclay covered its branding; Beatrice pulled its colours off the singleton Haas entry of Australian Alan Jones, who then withdrew on race day morning, ostensibly with a virus. Later Alan confided that his government had intervened.
