HOLDEN BATHURST REVIVAL EVENT FOR NOVEMBER

HOLDEN racing history will be celebrated at this year’s inaugural Bathurst International event to be held from November 13-15.

An additional one-off, Holden-only category has been added to Mount Panorama’s newest event – basically it’s a Lion all-in!

The Holden Bathurst Revival is open to Holdens of all kinds from the first ever model 48-215 through to modern V8 touring cars/Supercars.

Eligibility extends to Holdens from almost every circuit racing category that the marque has been represented in, including grass roots categories Group N and Improved Production/Club Cars, as well as series no longer contested such as V8 Utes, Commodore Cup and Future Tourers.

Up to 100 racing Holdens will descend on the Mountain for the non-competitive sessions, in essence a Holden ‘SuperSprint’.

The format means participants can drive their racing Holden on the iconic circuit in a relaxed environment without the demands or risks of competitive, wheel-to-wheel racing.

The list of eligible vehicles provided by the Australian Racing Group is indeed a long one. All vehicles must pass scrutineering and have a past or present CAMS/Motorsport Australia log book.

Speaking of Holden – don’t forget to pre-order here your copy of our upcoming book ‘Racing the Lion’, a huge 400 page limited edition hardcover illustrated history of Holden in motorsport. 

Featuring a wide range of never-before-published photos, this collector’s book will be printed in a limited print run.
