Commodores to lead Group C & A ‘Island Classic’ charge
There will once again be a wide range of Group C & A touring cars roaring around the coast at the 2025 Island Classic.
Fan favourite Holdens and Fords, plus more that went racing around the mountain and Australia in the eighties and nineties will be a focal point of the celebrated Victorian Historic Racing Register event.
All up there are around 360 entries heading to the March 7-9 event where tickets and info are available here.
In a special treat for fans, 1986 and 1990 Bathurst winner Allan Grice will be at the island and so will his iconic STP Commodore, which will be driven by his son Ben Grice, plus with a little help from well known engineer Les Small.
The man who won the 2016 Bathurst 1000, Jonathan Webb, will also drive his own Sierra, which was once steered by Colin Bond.
“There are about 25. A few Sierras and a heap of Commodores and BMWs,” said VHRR’s Ian Tate.
“I think Webb will be very quick and the Sierras will fight it out.
“Ed Singleton is bringing two cars and the STP car will be driven by Ben Grice with Les Small looking after it, which is great.
“Singleton which will also drive Grice’s 100 miles an hour car with has just been restored.
“The spectacle will be seeing these great cars racing and we are very pleased with the entries we have got given it is pretty tough times.”
