The race saw the competitive début of the Ford Mustang GT, which replaced the FG X Falcon.[3][4] The Adelaide 500 was the first time that a Mustang had competed in a round of the Australian Touring Car Championship since 1990.[5]

McLaughlin's win in Race One was the first time that the Ford Mustang had won a race in the Australian Touring Car Championship since Allan Moffat won the final round of the 1972 season at Oran Park Raceway 46 years earlier - in that instance won in a Boss 302 Mk.1 edition.
