Allcomer Saloons and Historic Super Sedans

This class has been formed to bring out the Historic Super Sedans from the 60’s and 70’s and later model V8 cars that do not fit the Muscle Car regs. By limiting cars to the configuration they raced in 15 years ago we hope to avoid cheque book racing and cars being continually updated but still retain the popular all comers idea and provide some racing for some exciting cars that are not quite fast enough to foot with the newer machinery but don’t fit into the current historical and classic classes

The first year will see two series, one during the winter series with HRC and ACC

And 3 rounds at Hampton downs with the new Super Tourer Class

Another innovation is prize money, $10,000 is up for grabs in the final round of the Super Tourer Meeting

1 .Cars must comply with Schedule A Motorsport Manual no 34 and updates

2 .Cars must be 15 years or older

Welcome to our first newsletter for the exciting new classes, Advanced Adhesives Allcomers Saloons and ACES+

Advanced Adhesives Allcomers Saloons will bring out the Historic Super Sedans from the 60s & 70s and later model V8 cars that don't fit the current Muscle Car regs. Cars are limited to the configuration that they were in 15 years ago (to avoid cheque book racing), but also to feature the original Allcomers concept. Check out the regs on www.grandprix.org.nz/allcomer-saloon-cars.wse

ACES+ is a great series for people who want racing with a minimum of panel damage in a relaxed environment. You don’t need the fastest car to go racing in this series, just a keenness to participate! ACES+ has a time zone cut-off to keep the costs way down, so Pukekohe is 1.16 and 1.23 for Hampton Downs. Cars going faster than the cut-off will not get points for the race and if they are continually going under the time cap, it is probably best for those cars to move to a faster class.

The Winners of the Inaugural Winter Series Are!

Advanced Adhesives Allcomers Saloons:
1st: Roger Conder
2nd: Aaron Clarke
