The Winton Festival of Speed (WFOS26) will blend historic Australian motorsport and high-country culture with more than 300 historically significant race cars expected to attend this year’s event at Winton Raceway.
Taking place from 24-26 July, WFOS26 will showcase some of Australia’s most popular Australian Touring Cars such as Mustangs, Camaros, Toranas, classic sports cars and the newly-established Fitzy Cup Super Sprint.
Categories at WFOS26 include Group N Historic Touring Cars [Under and Over 2-Litre], Heritage Touring Cars including Groups C & A, Group S Sports Cars, Formula Ford, MGs and Invited British, Alfa Romeo Racing, Porsche 944 Challenge and BMW E30 Racing.
Additionally, expanded supersprint classes have been determined with 5-Litre Touring Cars, V8Brutes, Auscars, GT Cars up to 2010, Touring Car Tributes and Touring Car Legends all on the invite list.
This goes hand-in-hand with the inaugural running of The Fitzy Cup, a Porsche-focused category celebrating the legacy of Peter Fitzgerald.
The Fitzy Cup invites Peter Fitzgerald built-and-raced Porsches from 1990 to 2010, as well as other race-spec Porsches of the same era, to join the maiden event.
The four-day festival opens with test and tuning sessions for competitors, before launching into three days of competitive action that will include Qualifying, Sprint and Race sessions for the 11 categories competing.
Saturday and Sunday sessions and races of WFOS26 will be broadcast live and free on Blend Line TV.
Entries for WFOS26 are now open, all interested competitors with an eligible vehicle are encouraged to register via Motorsport Australia Event Entry.
Event Ticketing is now also available via Humanitix, with single-day General Admission passes available from $30.
