Heritage Touring Cars – Group C and A

By 1 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.

Production Touring

Rnd 7 Group copy

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.

Grid sizes are generally well in excess of 30 cars, making the NSW PTC the highest supported category within the CAMS NSW Motor Race Championship.

Classic Sports Cars (Group S)

By 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

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!
