Historic Sandown 2022 came roaring back to its competitive best for the first time since 2019, blessed with sunshine, big crowds and great displays. Two big fields faced the starter and the racing was tight and torrid in each.

After spending two years in Covid pit lane the VHRR’s long track Winton Festival of Speed meeting was back at full strength with 300 entries and headlining the now traditional 50km JUST CARS Cup for Historic Touring Cars. The traditional enduro did not disappoint, with just .5 sec between first and second after 17 torrid laps.

It was yet another sensational adventure for the JUST CARS drivers across the border at The Bend which continued to strengthen the growing bonds between the HTCAV and the Historic Touring Car Association of South Australia who were superb hosts all weekend. As HTCAV President Chris Stern posted, “we were treated like kings!”.
