WAYNE Wilson, President of the Historic Sports and Racing Car Association reports “It’s the Grand Finale of 2024’s historic motor racing season – the HSRCA’s 2024 Summer Festival, featuring Formula Ford & Group S Enduro, plus all other historic categories, Modern Regularity (up to 2010) and Super Sprint competitions.

“Our very special guest this weekend will be Kevin Bartlett, who is generously joining us from his home in Queensland. Kevin was a champion in many disciplines in the golden era of motor racing, winning the Gold Star in the Australian Drivers’ Championship back to back in 1968 and ‘69, as well as the 1974 Bathurst 1000 with co-driver John Goss, and the 1969 Macau Grand Prix.

“Racing touring cars over two decades, he was also the first person to set a 100 mile an hour lap at Bathurst, among many other achievements.

“”We have organised a dinner on Saturday night at the Alpha Hotel, where we can hear some of the stories direct from the man who wrote ‘Big Rev Kev’, including of the many cars he drove faster than most, from Morris Minors to Formula 5000s to BMW 635s and the Channel 9 Camaro. We will have some of those cars on display over the weekend (at SMSP).

“We look forward to the Group S enduro, a feature for Formula Ford, and of course events for all historic classes (subject to minimum entries).”
