06/09/2017: The Australian Racing Drivers’ Club (ARDC) has always supported endurance racing for production cars, from the humble beginnings of what is now the Bathurst 1000, to holding and hosting various endurance races over the years at its current venue, Sydney Motorsport Park.
The ARDC recently teamed up with experienced promoters AMSport to create the Sydney 6 Hour; which was to be included on the program for the iconic Australian Muscle Car Masters annual event.
Unfortunately, the event did not attract enough entries to justify holding the race; to justify having our volunteer officials endure very long days; or to simply put on a good show.
Naturally, the ARDC is disappointed that the event has been cancelled, and is disappointed for AMSport’s Rob and Liam Curkpatrick who worked tirelessly to try and get this new format off the ground.
The Australian Muscle Car Masters program will be supplemented by at least one, but possibly two categories with details to follow in coming days.
