Touring Car Masters (TCM)

Evolving from Historic Group N racing through to Biante Historic Touring Cars, the series emerged as the Touring Car Masters for its inaugural season in 2007 and immediately struck a winning formula, with its mix of classic hero cars and modern improvements, such as disc brakes, dry-sumped engines and radial tyres, producing intense, dynamic racing right from the outset. Showcasing a selection of immaculately prepared touring cars of the pre-1981 era, the Touring Car Masters boasts some of the sport’s most iconic muscle cars from Falcon GT’s, BOSS Mustangs, Chevrolet Camaros, Chrysler Chargers and Holden Monaros to the giant-killing Holden Toranas and nimble Porsche 911 RS’s. Pontiacs, Mercuries, Ford Capris and more.

Touring Car Masters

Since its inception in 2007, the Paynter Dixon Touring Car Masters – just ‘TCM’ to fans and competitors – has rapidly grown to become one of Australia’s premier racing categories.

Evolving from Historic Group N racing through to Biante Historic Touring Cars, the series emerged as the Touring Car Masters for its inaugural season in 2007. Setting itself apart from traditional Historic racing, the Touring Car Masters pioneered a new class of racing by introducing innovative technical regulations aiming to improve safety, reliability, cut running costs and provide an exciting and entertaining race package while maintaining the visual appeal of its period race cars.

The Touring Car Masters immediately struck a winning formula, with its mix of classic hero cars and modern improvements, such as disc brakes, dry-sumped engines and radial tyres, producing intense, dynamic racing right from the outset. Since then, the popular retro series has continued to go from strength-to-strength, lifting the class to become a successful, highly-competitive, affordable and commercially-viable category.

Though many think of it as a historic category, TCM is just as much of a ‘tribute’ to the classic era while allowing it to be viable in today’s commercial and competitive environment.

Showcasing a selection of immaculately prepared touring cars of the pre-1981 era, the Touring Car Masters boasts some of the sport’s most iconic muscle cars from Falcon GT’s, BOSS Mustangs, Chevrolet Camaros, Chrysler Chargers and Holden Monaros to the giant-killing Holden Toranas and nimble Porsche 911 RS’s. Pontiacs, Mercuries, Ford Capris and more make a variety-packed field.

The Touring Car Masters series is structured across three classes at each round:
ProMASTERS – For the professional drivers
ProAM – For part-timers or drivers doing it as much for fun as they are success
ProSPORTS – allows entrants to cross-enter in the same car, enabling two (or more) drivers to score points for the vehicle and still compete for the class championship.

Heritage Touring Cars – Group C and A

By Leave a Comment

Heritage Touring Cars are the Legends of Bathurst – mighty Group C & Group A Australian touring cars driven by icons such as Brock, Moffat, Richards and countless others to legendary status. With Heritage Touring Cars, the legends live again, unleashed on Australian racetracks with all the fire and fury of the golden age of motor sport.

The Group C and Group A cars racing with Heritage Touring Cars are the original race cars that competed between 1973 and ‘92, in their period-correct livery and specification. These are the machines that, at the hands of Australian icons, wrote the greatest stories that the sport has produced, when it was possible for a privateer to go David and Goliath against the factories and incredible diversity of machinery produced unparalleled racing.

Heritage Touring Cars formed out of passion for these cars and the history they are part of, to ensure that they continue to race and keep the fever alive in their fans.

The NSW Production Touring Cars category is promoted by the Street Sedan Racing Association of Australia and operates under the framework of the CAMS 3E Series Production Car regulations.

The category has been around for many years, and several drivers in V8 Supercars, V8 Utes, Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge and Carrera Cup and even international motor racing started their career with us.

The category promotes cost effective and close racing for all makes and competitors, on all budgets, in a family friendly atmosphere. Our multiple class system and innovative point score system rewards consistency so that any competitor, in any class, has the chance to become CAMS NSW State Champion.

Both sprint and enduro races are conducted at Sydney Motorsport Park, Wakefield Park and the occasional visit to an interstate circuit to mix things up a bit for competitors.
