About Us – West Australian Historic Touring Car Club

The West Australian Historic Touring Car Club (WAHTCC) is dedicated to preserving and racing the iconic touring cars that defined Australian motorsport in the 1960s and 1970s.

In those golden years, legendary names like Beechey, Jane, Brock, Moffat, and Geoghegan battled on track in machines that shaped automotive history—Mustangs, Monaros, GTHOs, Chargers, Cortinas, Mini Cooper S, Toranas, Valiants, and Jaguars, to name a few. Back then, the saying was:
“Win on Sunday, sell on Monday”—a race victory could mean a showroom rush the next day!

Racing was raw and real, with cars that closely resembled what families drove on the street. The paddock was just that—a paddock! Ingenuity and effort were just as important as talent behind the wheel. Manufacturers embraced performance, rolling out GT, RS, and HO models, often with help from Lotus, Cosworth, and Shelby, making history on roads, tracks, and rally circuits worldwide.

Get Involved!

If you love this era of motorsport, we’d love to hear from you! You don’t need to own a historic race car to be part of our club—just a passion for classic touring car racing. However, if you do have (or are looking to buy) an Historic Touring Car, please reach out before purchasing. We can guide you on eligibility to ensure your car meets the correct specifications.

We offer racing and regularity competition under Historic Group N regulations, with events at Carco.com.au Raceway (Wanneroo) and Collie Motorplex. For a chance to see these legendary cars in action and connect with like-minded enthusiasts, check out our Events page and join us at the next race meet—you’ll always be welcome!
