HSRCA

A little Mini love. ❤️🏁 Small cars. Enormous personalities. And always ridiculously good fun to watch. Have you ever raced one?

We’ll have even more reason to celebrate these little legends later this year at our Summer Festival at Sydney Motorsport Park in November. More on that soon!

This may look vaguely like a VW Type 3… but things get considerably more interesting underneath. 👀

A recreation of the extraordinary Bryan Thomson/Peter Fowler Sports Sedan of the early ’70s, it combines a VW fastback with a 5-litre Chev V8 and McLaren components. It'll be raced by Greg 'Jock' Paynter, the nephew of Bryan, who raced the original. 🏁

Catch the Group U Sports Sedans at the HSRCA Spring Festival at One Raceway September 25–27. Entry is FREE for spectators!

It is with great sadness that we share the passing of our friend and long-serving HSRCA Chief Scrutineer, Todd Hamilton, aged 96.

Todd was the HSRCA’s longest-serving Chief Scrutineer, taking over from John Coneybeare in the late 1990s and continuing in the role until 2016.

Over those many years, Todd played an enormously important part in our race meetings, helping to ensure the safety of hundreds of historic competitors and becoming a familiar face and good friend to many throughout our community.

He will be greatly missed, and our thoughts are with his family and friends at this sad time.

HSRCA's Young Women in Motorsport Program is about turning opportunity into reality, giving talented young women the chance to step out of the kart, garage or grandstand and into a historic Formula Vee race car.

Thanks to an incredibly generous private donation, HSRCA was able to purchase our own historic Formula Vee and put our first recipient, behind the wheel this year.

But buying the car was just the beginning.

Your support helps us keep the program on track, covering the costs involved in getting the car and our young driver race-ready and creating the same opportunity for more young women in the future.

Want to help us keep the wheels turning?

Donations of $2 or more are tax deductible, with funds raised going directly to the HSRCA Young Women in Motorsport Program.
