pure american muscle on display

The Australian Trans-Am category captures one of the most spectacular eras of American motorsport - the muscle car period of the mid 1960s to early 1970s.

Australian Trans-Am was established to celebrate the great period of American Trans-Am racing of the mid-1960s to the early 70’s. Australian Trans-Am is open to 2-door, 4-seat, rear wheel drive, V8 powered American production vehicles built from 1963 to 1974.

As well as Mustangs and Camaros, the Australian Trans-Am Series also attracts other iconic muscle cars including Pontiac Firebird, Plymoth Duster and AMC Javelin.

Like the American Trans-Am Series, all Australian Trans-Am races have a rolling start. Australian Trans-Am is based in South-East Queensland, appearing regularly at Queensland Raceway.

The series also visits New Zealand biannually thanks to a flourishing partnership with New Zealand’s Historic Muscle Cars and the New Zealand Festival of Motor Racing held at Hampton Downs.

Mark Spencer leads the 2023 points in his Mustang after the opening round, ahead of series organiser Ian Palmer in his Firebird.
