AUSTRALIAN PRODUCTION CARS MAKES BIG SWITCH
The 2025 season will be a new chapter for Australian Production Cars as it switches from Motorsport Australia to AASA.
The 10th season of the Australian Production Car Series will be the first run on the Hi-Tec Oils Super Series platform.
As a result the five-round season will be broadcast on Foxtel, Kayo and SBS and begin in the last weekend of February.
The season is bookended by rounds at Winton, but is also encompassing Sydney Motorsport Park, Queensland Raceway and Mallala.
Previously Australian Production Cars was run by Motorsport Australia and often ran at the SpeedSeries behind GT World Challenge and GT4 Australia.
Australian Production Cars representative Troy Williams believes it is the right path for the category.
“This is fantastic news for the Australian Production Cars and a change that myself and the competitors are really looking forward to,” said Williams.
“Reducing the entry fees, improving the broadcast package and having more assurance around track time is something our competitors are continually asking for, so we are delighted with the prospects for 2025.
“This marks a new era for Production Car racing in Australia and we have no doubt that we have put our category in the best position to prosper and succeed this year and beyond.”
Both AASA CEO Stephen Whyte and Hi-Tec Oils Super Series Manager Carolyn Oldano welcomed the new arrival of a national level series.
“These are exciting times for AASA and the Hi-Tec Oils Super Series to welcome Australian Production Cars to the fold,” said Whyte.
“It’s been a long held ambition for AASA to work with APC as production cars is a part of our early DNA, particularly Winton Raceway being the home of production car racing in the 80s.”
“I’m looking forward to working with Troy and the APC team this year and beyond,” said Oldano.
“It is a great privilege to have such a prestigious category joining the Hi-Tec Oils Super Series in 2025.”
