Heritage Revival reveals entry list for Repco Bathurst 1000

One of the support categories for this year’s Repco Bathurst 1000 will feature a vast array of history covering close to 60 years of Australian motorsport.

Three races will be contested by 40 entries, with the Heritage Revival class highlighting the Group C era of Australian Touring Car Championship competition from 1973 until 1984.

One of the exciting entries set to compete is the Nissan Bluebird George Fury took to pole position in 1984 now in the hands of current owner Brian Henderson.

More than half the field represents Group C, while Group A, Group N and Group S also feature providing a smorgasbord of history for fans to enjoy.

Others set to take to the Mountain include Terry Lawlor in his ex-Bill O’Brien Ford Falcon XD, which he shared with Bob Morris in 1980, while another Bluebird will contest the weekend in the hands of Adam Workman.

Group C provided a major change in the touring car landscape as Nissan, Mazda and BMW entered the fray, with each represented on the grid.

Also, the tiddler models including Toyota Celica, Ford Escort and Capri, plus even a Valiant Charger will line-up alongside Holden Torana A9Xs.

Sure to be competitive is Group N as Ford Mustangs, Holden Torana GTR XU-1s, EHs and Monaros, Valiant Chargers and even an Alfa Romeo.

Exotica of the day in Porsche’s 911 complete the field as the Group S representative.

The organiser behind this event is competitor Ed Singleton, who will also compete himself in his STP ex-Allan Grice VH Commodore.

“We encourage all our competitors to race closely and show off the relative strengths of their cars, while obviously showing respect for one another, bringing the cars home in one piece” Singleton said.

“In doing so, it ensures everyone watching trackside or at home on TV can soak up the sights and sounds of these classic machines going flat out around the Mountain.

“In between our races, we welcome all the fans to come for a walk through our pit area, talk to the drivers and car owners, reminisce, share stories and of course take plenty of photos.”
