Group S was as usual oversubscribed. Here 2 examples of popular British roadster- TR6 and MGB- await their turn to depart for the track.
Murray Carter was honoured as patron of the event and a selection of his cars were displayed, in this case an immaculately prepared Phase 3 GTHO.
5.3 litres of Jaguar’s finest V12 that powered John Goss to Bathurst victory in 1985, the first year of Group A in Australia.
Another view of the ex Ravaglia/Pirro M3. On shorter tracks the Group A stalwarts may only get to see this view in 2009.
One of the highlights of the demonstration laps was this immaculately restored six cylinder Alfa Romeo.
The true beauty of historic racing is that you get to see a great mix of cars, each with their own strengths. Sure, sandown favours the Mustangs but come Winton it is often the Minis providing the highlights.
It was fantastic to see an E30 M3 slugging it out on Australian soil. This car belonged to 1987 WTCC champion Roberto Ravaglia, who shared with F1 driver Emmanuele Pirro during the Aussie enduro events that year.
Look what we found lurking in the spectator carpark. We will be featuring this 16v Integrale in full detail shortly.
Ultra clean engine bay of Group C Escort- more carburation than engine!
Tasty D-Type Jaguar negotiates the 2nd gear left hander at Dandenong Road.
