Classic Sports Cars (Group S)

March 1, 2019 By ARDC 2 Comments

Group S

Based on mildly modified production sports cars from the ‘50s, ‘60s and ‘70s, Group S is one of the fastest growing historic motorsport categories with spectacular and diverse grids.  Manufacturers include Austin Healey, Porsche, Lotus, Ferrari, MG, Datsun, Alfa Romeo, Shelby, Triumph, Chevrolet, Renault, De Tomaso and more.  Split into three sub categories based on year of manufacture, there are plenty of ‘races-within-the-race’ throughout the extremely competitive and often full fields.

A company synonymous with racing, not to mention Steve McQueen, is Gulf Oil.  In 2019 Gulf Oil Australia is once again supporting the category.  The iconic Gulf livery was a regular on the tracks of Europe in the in 60’s and 70’s, everything from Porsche 917’s to Ford GT40’s… and now Gulf Oil is in Australia and on Australian race tracks with Group S.

National Sports Sedans

March 1, 2019 By ARDC Leave a Comment

National Sports Sedans

THE NATIONAL SPORTS SEDAN SERIES is arguably the most dynamic and exciting motor racing category in the country. The noise and the serious horsepower from the mid mounted engines of these ‘winged and wild’ racers is awe inspiring. Built and raced by a dedicated group of devotees chasing the ultimate in power to weight performance, they share a unique place in Australian motor racing heritage.

Sports sedans are the most modified full bodied cars in Australian motor sport. Typically they commence build using a steel tube ”space frame” chassis, add mechanical components, composite body panels which can resemble the family sedan or transform a sports saloon into something more exotic with the addition of wheel arch flares to accommodate the wide slick rubber, plus front spoilers and a large rear wing to generate downforce.

The most successful cars in recent years have sourced power from a 700+ horsepower 6000cc V8 engines and transmit that power through a 5 or 6 speed transaxle rear end. The result is the fastest cars with a roof, and in many instances these cars are knocking on the door of recording fastest outright track laps at circuits nationwide!
