Sydney MasterBlast is back!
The Sydney MasterBlast event returns to Sydney Motorsport Park this Fathers’ Day weekend – September 4-5 – after a Covidenforced pause in 2020. The Sydney MasterBlast, featuring the Australian Muscle Car Masters, celebrates our great Australian motor racing heritage: the glory days of the Bathurst 500/1000 and the cars that took on the Mountain in the Great Race, as well as the potential Australian motorsport stars of the future.
Seven racing categories will feature across the two days.
Heritage Touring Cars (Historic Group C & A) represents a direct link to our Bathurst and touring car history as these were the actual machines that competed during the Group C era (1973-’84) and international Group A (1985-‘92). The Sydney MasterBlast will host a round of the national series for Heritage Touring Cars, so we can expect a big eld boasting some of the best old Group A and C touring cars in the country.
Likewise the National Sports Sedans competing at the Sydney MasterBlast will be contesting a round of the Australian Sports Sedan Championship, so there’ll be all to play for with these highly modi ed, wild and winged beasts.
At the other end of the performance modi cation spectrum, the Production Touring Cars will contest a round of their state championship: it’s Aussie V8 Holden and Ford muscle versus turbo hot hatches, all-wheel drive Mitsubishi Evos and Subaru Impreza WRXs, and a variety of BMWs and other makes.
Group S Classic Sports Cars make their return for what will be a round of their national championship. Group S is the historic category for what the 1970s equivalent of GT3 racing today, featuring a remarkably diverse array of cars – from a Corvette Stingray and Shelby Mustang down to an MGB, and everything in between.
Also on the bill are the more up-to-date sports cars in the Radicals, which will contest a round of their national series. These lightweight sportscars use Superbike technology and are faster around SMSP than a Supercar.
The Superkarts aren’t quite so fast, but speeds of up to 260km/h in a tiny package that sits just inches off the ground makes for probably the most exciting ride in all of motorsport. And they’ll be competing for national championship points, so they won’t be holding back.
