Sydney Retro Speedfest Historic Racer Profile: Ed Singleton

Coming up on the 3rd and 4th of May, 2014, at Sydney Motorsport Park, the inaugural Sydney Retro Speedfest will bring together over three hundred cars for one of the biggest historic racing events in New South Wales. As we get closer to the event, let’s get to know some of the drivers and cars taking to the track over the weekend, thanks to Sydney Retro Speedfest.

Ed Singleton’s first motorsport love is his ex-Allan Grice & Colin Bond “Group C” Commodore. Presented in its iconic  period STP livery, “Elvis” is an original Bathurst & ATCC race car, exactingly restored to its 1983 race specification.

Having raced in a variety of classes including the Mini Challenge and Radical Australia Cup (Ed is the 2011 Radical national champion), he’s adamant that there’s nothing quite like the Heritage Touring Car Series, and is very much looking forward to running on the Gardner Circuit at the Sydney Retro Speedfest.

“I can’t wait to hit the track in May!”

“We’re lining up a big grid of Bathurst touring cars, ranging from the nimble Bob Holden Escorts to the “Big Banger” V8 Commodores and Falcons, right through to the mighty Gibson Motorsport Nissans, and everything in between. Nothing gets the crowd cheering like a full grid of Bathurst Legends, and the Group C and Group A boys always put on an entertaining show. Join us trackside for touring car racing like it used to be!”
