Richard Taylor Historic Racing

Our previous event at Eastern Creek got off to a slightly soggy start, which produced slippery, challenging conditions for the drivers and spectacular spray and sliding for photographers.

Richard Taylor is one of the talented photographers who braved the elements with his camera and captured the historic racing action brilliantly. He has been kind enough to share his shots with us and they are available for you to check out in the gallery below as well as on our gallery page here.

Be sure to head to his website here for many more.

Thanks Richard!

A very happy New Year to all!

We are gearing up for a big year of historic motorsport and are very excited to be back in the thick of things and just a month and a half away from our first event at Wakefield Park on the 24th, 25th and 26th of February. We hope you all had a relaxing and happy holiday break and wish you all the best for a successful and fun year!

I thought I would kick things off by taking a look back at our trips to the track in 2011 with a selection of photographs taken throughout the year. I would love to see and share your favourite photos and videos from 2011, so please send me an email at seth@hsrca.com if you would like to contribute to the website or drop by our Facebook page here and say ‘Hi!’.

Looking forward to seeing everyone soon!
