Open to former V8 Supercars/five-litre V8 Touring Cars, two-litre Super Tourers, V8 Future Tourers and invited cars, the Classic will be a celebration of Australian touring car racing history.
Holden Commodore VE/VE IIs and Ford Falcon FGs, the cars that make up the bulk of the current Kumho Tyre Super3 Series field, will not be permitted in the Classic.
The event has also secured live streaming coverage on both the Saturday and Sunday as part of the Winton Shannons Nationals telecast that will also be viewable via the V8 Sleuth website and its social media channels.
The event format will mirror the Super3 Series with practice, qualifying and three races.
A range of cars have already confirmed their entries for the event, including an ex-PWR Falcon AU, Shell Helix/Paul Radisich Falcon AU and the 2006 V8 Supercar Championship-winning Toll HSV Commodore formerly driven by Rick Kelly.
