About This Event

The HSRCA Summer Festival is a three day historic race meeting at Sydney Motorsport Park, and in 2026 it marks 60 years since a Mini won the 1966 Bathurst 500. Historic cars from every era share the circuit with invited classes from the decades since.

1What to Expect

Formula Ford 1600 Nationals: The meeting hosts a round of the 2026 Formula Ford 1600 Nationals.
Super Tin Tops title decider: Australian Super Tin Tops race at an HSRCA meeting for the first time and settle their 2026 championship in the final round.
Historic cars of every era: All of the HSRCA's historic groups race, plus speed event classes for cars built up to the 2010s and invited cars that fit those groups.
Two full race days: Friday is practice and qualifying. Saturday and Sunday are racing only, from 8:30am, and every competitor gets at least two races each day.

2Best Way to Experience It

Gold

The Mini spectacular

Feature Mini races and displays by Mini car clubs mark 60 years since the 1966 Bathurst 500 win.

Silver

The Group S enduro

Group S runs its endurance race, which the HSRCA calls iconic.

Bronze

Either race day

Every class races at least twice on Saturday and twice on Sunday, so one day pass still covers the whole program.
