Heritage Touring Cars – Group C and A

March 11, 2019 By ARDC 1 Comment

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.
