Group C returned to Australia for the first time since 1984, back at Sandown Park Raceway in Melbourne, Australia, for the curtain closer of the ’88 season.  The race was actually known as the Lucas Supersprint.

Not only was this a round of the FIA World Sports Prototype Championship, as the championship officially came to be known, but it was also a respective round of two Japanese Group C championships, both for the All Japan Sports Prototype Championship (the national Japanese Group C series), and for a series affiliated with Fuji Speedway itself, the Fuji Long Distance Series.
