With Grice driving a Nissan Skyline HR31 GTS-R for the Howard Marsden run Nissan Europe team in the 1988 European Touring Car Championship, the team sat out most of the season, only competing at the Bathurst 1000 and Adelaide with two TWR Commodore VLs, one for Grice and now regular co-driver Percy and one that had been built for Garry Rogers.
