With Supercars returning to action with a four-round stint at Sydney Motorsport Park, this week on the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by Repco we’re looking back at the AMSCAR Series, the touring car track championship held at Amaroo Park in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. We run through the concept behind AMSCAR, why and how it existed, the big cameos, the privateers that starred against the professionals, why it faded away – and its one-year comeback in 1997 outside V8 Supercars’ control.

This week on the V8 Sleuth Podcast powered by Repco we’re chatting about a Classic Car: a Holden Commodore with a long, long racing life! Chassis RF 04 began its life as a Holden Commodore VN Group A SS in 1991 and kept racing – upgraded to a VP, then VR then VS specifications – until 2007! It hosted young guns, a world champion, well-known privateers and (at one point) a future Supercars Hall of Famer, gave Neil Crompton his maiden ATCC/SC podium finish, and had a starring role in some infamous Mount Panorama moments.
