Following the first two rounds of drivers recalling their first race cars, we’ve compiled a third collection of HTCAV drivers telling us where it all began. PETER VAN SUMMEREN First Car: Ford Escort Twin Cam Current Car: Lotus Cortina Peter van Summeren’s giant-killing reputation in a Mk1 Escort belies his mere decade of circuit racing experience. But years of winning in other motorised sports put him on the pace from the outset. A boat designer and builder, he won with outboard ski race boats through the mid ’80s, taking the Southern 80, Mildura and Robinvale 100s and the Bridge to Bridge Classic. In the ’90s, it was karting – in Reed Heavy, the fastest Sprint Karts you can get, only an inch from the tarmac, with 250cc screaming at 22,000rpm…

WHAT IS THIS RACING CLASS? The Group N (Historic Touring Cars) category was introduced in the early 1980s by the Confederation of Australian Motor Sport (CAMS, now known as Motorsport Australia) to reflect the pre-1972 ‘Golden Age’ of touring car racing. All but a handful of the original race machines from that era have disappeared, so today’s cars are mostly replicas built to strict CAMS/MA rules, which you can read at motorsport.org.au. OLD, OLDER, OLDEST… We’ll start with the oldest cars first. • Group Na (pre-1957): For cars available in Australia - ‘Humpy’ Holdens, Ford Zephyrs, Jaguars, Austins, Simcas and Volkswagens, for example. • Group Nb (1958-64): For makes and models with a proven overseas or Australian competition history - early Mustangs and Falcons, Cortinas, FE to EH Holdens, Minis,…
