About V8 Touring Cars
The V8 Touring Car (V8TC) Series was established in 2008. At the time AU Falcon and VT/VX Commodore V8 Supercars were to become ineligible to compete in the V8 Supercar Fujitsu Series. With so many 'de-registered' cars looking for a place to race, the time was right to establish a new Australian motor racing category for these iconic cars.
Initially the grid numbers were small, but as the profile of the category grew and the word spread about how much fun the drivers were having the numbers picked up dramatically in 2011, and 2012 will see grids of around 20 cars at each round.
Not only does the series provide a home for 'retired' and/or historically significant V8 Supercars, it enables teams/drivers to continue to race these iconic and exciting race cars, and just as importantly, it opens up another entry point for young drivers.
The category is subject to strict technical requirements, and has been approved as an official CAMS sanctioned National Series.
