Cars from Australia’s Touring Car Masters (TCM) series will be joined by more than 25 entries from New Zealand’s Central Muscle Cars (CMC) Series to offer fans at Mount Panorama a great show of classic racing machinery from the early 1960s to late 1970s.
It is set to be one of the largest grids of V8 (and selected six-cylinder) muscle cars assembled on the Mountain in years.
The bumper field will contest three races across the October 6-9 weekend, including a preliminary race on Friday and a Trophy Race on Saturday prior to the Supercars Top-10 shootout.
Sunday morning will feature the main event – the Wilson Trans-Tasman Challenge where the 25-plus cars from each series will line up side by side for a stunning rolling start on the mountain.
Touring Car Masters category manager Tony Hunter said it will be a sight muscle car fans will adore.
“The cars will be the stars and we will have a collection of race cars never assembled together before like this,” he said.
“For many drivers racing at or in the Bathurst 1000 is a dream so for a lot of people this will be a pinnacle event of their racing careers.”
