Keeping the spirit of historic motorsport alive.

Preserving and racing the touring cars that defined Australian motorsport in the 1960s and '70s, here in Western Australia.

More than just cars. It's a legacy.

Established in 1988, the WA Historic Touring Car Club preserves and races the touring cars that defined Australian motorsport in the 1960s and ’70s.

It was the era of Beechey, Jane, Brock, Moffat and Geoghegan. Racing was raw and real, the paddock was just that — a paddock — and ingenuity counted as much as talent behind the wheel.

“Win on Sunday, sell on Monday.”

The saying of the era — a race win could mean a showroom rush the next day.

Legends never fade.

Mustangs, Monaros, GT-HOs, Chargers, Cortinas, Mini Cooper S, Toranas, Valiants and Jaguars — the cars that shaped Australian touring car racing in the 1960s and ’70s.
