This weekend at the Phillip Island Classic, over the 17th to the 19th of March, the Heritage Touring Cars series will be joined by another legend of Australian Group C touring car racing – the ex-Toyota Team Australia AE86 Group A Toyota Corolla Coupe of Craig Foster.
This magnificent Ex-Grice/Richards JPS Team BMW 635CSi has spent the past two decades virtually untouched and with several states separating its insides and its outsides. In 2017, it’s set to hit the track in anger again for the first time since 1984.
The Heritage Touring Cars series will return to Australian race tracks this March for a five-round contest between the Legends of Bathurst.
And that’s a wrap! Round 1 of the Heritage Touring Cars series took place over 11th to 13th of March as part of the immense 2016 Phillip Island Classic, and saw some awe inspiring racing take place.
Joining the record Heritage Touring Cars grid at the Phillip Island Classic will be the freshly restored 1990 Benson & Hedges Ford Sierra RS500 of Carey McMahon.
Joining that grid will be the Group C JPS BMW 635 Coupe that touring car legend and Phillip Island Classic event patron Jim Richards will be piloting over the weekend.
The Phillip Island Classic is heading to Australia’s classic Phillip Island circuit over the 11th to 13th of March, and we’re going with them!
As we head into February and the year begins picking up speed, we’re ready to do some accelerating of our own – it’s time to kick off the 2016 Heritage Touring Cars series!
Australia’s most versatile and most decorated racing driver – Jim Richards – will be Patron of the 27th Phillip Island Festival of Motorsport from 11-13 March 2016.
