About The Club
Established in 1980 the Historic Touring Car Association of Victoria is a competition club for Touring Cars of a type that competed (either actual cars or replica vehicles) from post World War II through to 1992. The cars and the competition categories Pre -1973 Group N 1972 ‚Äì 1984 Group C 1985 ‚Äì 1992 Group A GROUP N Pre-1973 Members race under the Confederation of Australian Motor Sport (CAMS) Group N regulations. Group N covers Production Touring cars and Improved Touring cars built before 31st December 1972 and which are representative of the regulations in force at the time. This Group is split into three time periods defined as: – Group Na (pre 1958) and Group Nb (pre 1965) originally called Appendix J – Group Nc (1966-1972) representing vehicles that raced in the categories originally called Improved Touring and Series Production. Cars are not required to have a competition history. See the CAMS groups by clicking here See the CAMS rules and regulations by clicking here Very few if any Appendix J cars survive. Basically they were a road car driven to the track and home again. Most returned to their mundane lives after a blast at the track. Please…

Race Numbers
Competition Numbers. No-one owns a number, but we understand how nice it is to have a regular one on your car. Ultimately the Chief Steward or Race Sectary of the meeting issue the numbers for each event. However the Club tries to allocate numbers to our members to save members money and angst. Many events do not allow triple digit numbers, so that leaves 180+ competition members vying for 99 numbers. We often supply a list of the HTCAV member numbers to promoters of Victorian meetings. In most cases they will give preference to the HTCAV member for those allocated numbers on the list over other entrants. The same rules apply interstate which is why you often end up with a different number when your race interstate. As stated above we have more competitors than we do numbers. While not all competitive members require numbers, we have used all 99 and we still need to keep allocating more. To have a number allocated u0026#038; retained you must Be a continous financial member and Use the number at least once every 2 years. These rules still do not guarantee you exclusive usage of a number! They have been devised as way…
