Over the first weekend in August, Heritage Touring Cars joined in the VHRR’s 2025 Winton Festival of Speed to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Group A and contest round four of our 2025 series.

Over August 1 to 3 more than 20 Legends of Bathurst will head to the 2025 Winton Festival of Speed to celebrate that anniversary, contesting the penultimate round of the 2025 Heritage Touring Cars series along the way.
