Historic competitors driving J K and L cars have a special new national championship to look forward to thanks to the Victorian Historic Racing Register.

The Victorian Historic Racing Register has announced the new Stan Jones Championship where drivers will get to enjoy some of the nation’s top tracks.

Across six meetings, the Stan Jones Championship will head to Phillip Island, Mallala, Winton, One Raceway, Baskerville and Sandown.

With the main ambition to get cars out of the sheds and on track, entrants do not need to take on the full tour and are encouraged to select the ones they want to take part in.

Trophies will be up for grabs in all categories with the outright winner taking home the perpetual Stan Jones Championship trophy.

The VHRR is delighted to announce the inaugural running of the Stan Jones Championship in 2025, with the full support of other major car clubs around the country,” a VHRR statement read.

“This series will take place over 6 race meetings throughout the year with entrants able to choose their best 3 weekends to count for points.

“Or just run at 3 meetings – or 2! The goal is to get cars out of the sheds and onto the tracks.

“There will points awarded in J, K & L in both under and over 1500cc, with trophies for all the categories as well as the magnificent perpetual trophy for the outright winner of the Stan Jones Championship.

“There will be social events at each meeting, cars garaged together, and a dinner at the final weekend at Sandown.

“This is a fabulous opportunity to get J, K & L back to where it should be with plenty of cars on track and the camaraderie that can only come with historic motorsport.”
