50th Anniversary Events at Lakeside
With the following events scheduled for Lakeside this year,
May 27-29 Festival of Formula Cars July 22-24 Festival of Sports Cars and August 12 - 14 50 Yrs of Touring Cars Inc Shannons Nationals Web Page here; http://www.qldraceways.com.au/main.php?menu=qrl01 what cars are we likely to see. I know this is a broad question and I am familiar with the usual historic Touring Cars courtesy of the Bowden and Champion Families but know little about the rest that may pop up for an event like these. Are there many Single seaters here compared to the large numbers in NZ and are there many Can Am cars still in running order here in Aus? I believe there is a Matich SR4? somewhere. Any Elfins left? Just noticed in the expressions of interest bit that entries are limited to 120. Thats a bit disappointing especially for the Touring car event and the numbers that could possibly attend. Hope they just select the true classics then and not too many newer cars. Last edited by fordo; 15 Apr 2011 at 22:37. Reason: Details on entry numbers |

The August Touring Car Festival is expected to have a field of up to 20 genuine Group C & Group A cars plus two fields of Group N cars plus a field of Classic Transam cars plus regularity & sprints.

Thanks David. Appreciated. I really want to get to all 3 of them especially if there are a few 60s/70s cars there as they are more the stuff I grew up with and remember fondly.
Cheers Tony |

Many of these conditions came about as conditions imposed by the former Pine Rivers Shire Council for the circuit to be re-opened. Secondly it should be noted that the Shannons Nationals will not be visiting Lakeside in August. The Shannons Nationals series are strongly aligned to CAMS, indeed was formed originally by CAMS as the CAMS Nationals as a replacement for the AMRS, and do not race at circuits without CAMS accreditation. Shannon's are sponsoring the Festival of Touring Cars. |

The Matich SR4 does go to historic events, as does a SR3. Elfin 360 has race in Queensland recently. Elfin MS7 has raced here, although the car is for sale at the moment. I've shot a Can-Am Elfin MR8A-C. MRC Mk.II (Rennmax), Auscam 600M, Centaur GT, Elfin Mallala, Cooper T39, Ferrari 750, Lister-Jaguar, Gladiator Sports, JWF Milano, Lotus XV, Lotus 23, Lola T70, Porsche 956, Porsche 962, Rennmax Panther, Bella Fury, Ruea C Type, Jolus, Vulcan, Sabrina, Mistral and a strongly resurgent Clubman scene (Mallock, Hooper, Prosport, Minetti, Radical, Nota, Saidor, Galloway, JMW) and a batch of Sports 2000s (Swift, Lola, Royale, Tiga) which seem to increase with every meeting.
Not suggesting in anyway that most or even some of these might come. But these cars have raced in Queensland in the last decade. I suppose decade is a long time, I was just going off a Facebook gallery I posted recently... |
