🤯 three plus decades of change in Queensland has not left state circuit racing out.

Late 80's ~ Events made up the track schedules and often featured different combinations of categories in each event and a mix of status; scratch race, championship race or part of a series.

A notable race group were Street Sedans, with a few local APCC Production Cars and some historic Appendix J cars.

Since 2000 ~ Reflecting Supercars and other high end categories, local State Championship racers more and more wanted each race of a weekend to count towards championships, with scratch races having been virtually absent for a decade or more now.

Gone are the days of Division 1 and Division 2 Sports Sedans based on lap times, multiple categories now provide for the competitors who in the 80's would have had one clear choice.

Our archive going to good use promoting Sports Sedans 😁, with the M.R. Automotive Racing Holden Monaro blazing away under the bridge at Morgan Park Raceway.

The car is owned by Warren Smith and driven by fellow member Ashley Jarvis Racing, though back in this era the pilot was Colin Smith.

The big rig is currently being rebuilt from a full body off and strip down, it'll be back on track in the Australian Sports Sedan Series later this year.

Meanwhile the Gooley Evo was always a good demonstration of the possibilities for Floor Pan construction cars, which unlike the spaceframes that must be 2WD could remain in factory layout with all four turning. If you want more info on the particulars for AWD Floor Pan Sports Sedans drop our Queensland Sports Sedan Racing account a DM and they'll be right on it for you.

Grunt or Grip? We're Queensland's home of variety, and part of the challenge is the mix of regulars plus the endless roster of part timers and visitors making each outing a new driver-vs-driver experience, throw in being an open air sport exposed to the elements and the engineering aspects of going as fast as possible without failing to finish, and finishing high in the points at the end of each year isn't a walk in the park.

So if you were going to build a championship winner, which way would you and your budget go, grunt or grip?

Here we have a Monaro body on a spaceframe chassis powered by Chev. The spaceframe cars are limited to 2WD, and this one runs a live rear axle to support the power.

Then there's a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo running all wheel drive. To turn all 4 with engine power means the build is based around the OEM chassis ~ and we've prepared some AWD Sports Sedan specifics ready to email anyone looking for more details for the max grip method.

Don't forget we have a long list of auto-invite categories as well for the Queensland Sports Sedans and Invited Cars Championship.

The next round for this year is back at Morgan Park Raceway on May 22-24, while we're already working on plans for an even bigger 2027 season. If you want details on either, just reach out!
