THE committee of the Historic Sports and Racing Car Association of NSW invites drivers and spectators to join them for their annual winter spectacular at Sydney Motorsport Park (SMSP), to be held over the King’s Birthday long weekend, the 7th and 8th of June,

The meeting will offer races for all of the usual fifth category vehicles, as well as speed events for vehicles manufactured up to the 1990s and invited cars deemed compatible with those groups.

For our 2025 meeting, HSRCA is pleased to feature the iconic Group C & A Australian touring cars of the Heritage Touring Cars series, along with HQ Racing NSW and MG Racing Australia.

The committee is pleased to welcome HQ Racing NSW back, after they first joined up at a HSRCA meeting at the Sydney Classic last year. Coming out of Tasmania in 1989, HQ Racing is a category for Holden HQ four-door sedans, running 3.3L 6-cylinder engines. The HQ Holdens are a great fit for the HSRCA historic race meetings, and we look forward to seeing them in action on track once more.

The Heritage Touring Cars series will contest the third round of their 2025 championship at the Sydney Classic, reaching the mid-point of their competition. These are the cars that many of us grew up watching racing around Bathurst, in the hands of legendary drivers like Peter Brock, Jim Richards, Mark Skaife and more, and they’re raced with the same vigour today as back then.

We are also thrilled to welcome MG Racing Australia back in 2025. The series comprises a huge range of race and sporting MGs, from the mighty 5.6L MGB GT V8, complete with full aerodynamic package, to works MGZTs, a British Touring Car Championship MGZS, the only factory MGSV-R in existence – and more.

We look forward to seeing everyone at SMSP for an excellent meeting at the 2025 Sydney Classic.
