2021 HSRCA Sydney Classic Documentation
In tribute to Ron Tauranac, the HSRCA’s 2021 Sydney Classic will bring a collection of significant Brabham and RALT race cars to Sydney Motorsport Park over June 12-13, in an extraordinary weekend of motor racing.

The magnificent machines of MG Racing Australia and Australian 5 Litre Touring Cars also headline the event alongside many other historic race categories. This will be the HSRCA’s first meeting featuring night racing.

Event Documentation:
This has turned out to be a most exciting event, which has been managed under two unusual circumstances. We were thrilled to receive an extraordinarily large number of entries, which peaked at over 260. We then had to manage the last-minute advent of the extended Victorian lockdown, which led to a number of last minute withdrawals.
These two factors made for very complex event planning and multiple changes on the fly. As a result, the programme, garage allocations and the like have had to be changed multiple times in a very short space of time to try to accommodate all entrants. We have made every effort to produce the best result possible, but not all entrants may have received their ideal race program slot or garage allotment as a result.
Your understanding of the above is very much appreciated by the race committee.

At sign on your will receive: a program, tender pass, admission tickets and a small memorial plaque. Please insert your race car number on the tender pass.
Drivers Briefing
The drivers briefing is available above and will be conducted via email and hard copy handouts. This will take the place of the normal driver’s briefing on a Saturday morning (not held due to COVID restrictions).
Garages and Carports
Entries for this event are very strong, the largest in maybe a decade. All garages and carports were allocated on a ‘first in, first served basis’ and were taken quite early on.
Marquee spaces have been provided by the club as well.
Every possible effort is made to allocate spaces based on entrant requests, car categories and the like. However, with such strong entries, not every request can be met.
Correct Payment
With so many entrants and other arrangements, quite a few competitors may have ended up with a garage, carport or marquee that they did not elect first on their MSA on line entry. Please check your allocation and if there is an additional payment required, you can do this by direct deposit to HSRCA.
Saturday Morning Entry
If you are not arriving at the circuit until Saturday morning, you will need to proceed promptly to sign on as above.
