Show Notes
This week’s edition of the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by Castrol looks back at the rise and fall of one of Australian motorsport’s most exciting categories: AUSCAR.
Created as the second-tier category at Bob Jane’s Calder Park Thunderdome, AUSCAR quickly became a star attraction in its own right through a simple formula that had, at the time, disappeared from Australian circuits: V8 Holdens and Fords racing head to head.
We chat about how it came about, the star drivers, what triggered its downfall, where some of the cars went, and share your memories from an incredible period of racing.
