Shannons V8 Touring Car National Series

New in 2008, the Shannons V8 Touring Car National Series gives opportunities for owners of ex-V8 Supercars - up to and including the AU Ford Falcon and VX Holden Commodore - to race.

The category is based on de-registered Falcon and Commodore V8 Supercars which have been raced at some time since 1997.

As the cars are former V8 Supercars, the technical regulations are largely based on their respective V8 Supercar requirements.

Only Falcon and Commodore vehicles that have a registered history with AVESCO/VESA will be recognised, and documentation will be needed to establish a clear line of history for each car, so obviously no new cars can be built for the series.

Cars will run with a new controlled rear wing (same for Ford and Holden), and controlled camshaft, and the rev limiter will reduce the rpm by 500. Existing single stud 17inch wheels will be used with controlled slick tyres.

2008 Champion: Chris Smerdon, AU Falcon
