TOTAL Oil International Sports Car Challenge

For the first time at Albert Park, the TOTAL Oil International Sports Car Challenge will be lighting up the track, with Historic Sports Cars from the USA, UK, New Zealand and Australia. Featuring some of the classic Group C prototypes that battled for supremacy at Le Mans, in the Australian Sports Car Championship and in the ‘CAN AM’ Series in North America.

Witness the Power of these cars which were high technology from the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s yet completely raw with little or no driver aids. Cars from the 70’s and 80’s Australian Sports Car Championship will be on hand to fight for domination against the International Challengers including manufacturers such as McLaren, Porsche, Lola, Jaguar and even Ford.

This will be a truly unique opportunity to see some of the most exciting sports racing prototypes from around the world racing on the Albert Park Circuit.
