Joining the Heritage Touring Car grid for this years Baskerville Historics is a second GTR Skyline, this particular car owned by Greg Boyle has an extremely interesting history as 1 of 5 only Bathurst raced GTR 32’s from period, and the only road registered one at that! This was the Nissan Australia prototype test car and was in fact the 1992 Tooheys 1000 pace car! The car ran in the 1993 Bathurst 12hr event finishing 4th outright. The vehicle remained as a Falken Tyres promotional vehicle for the next 10 years before being sold into private ownership. An extremely iconic race car from the period and on track at this years event.

Baskerville has proven to be a great equaliser when it comes to car size and power, and owners of smaller guys embrace the benefits. One of 4 Group C Escorts entered for 2026 is a very special RS2000. Being number 24 of 25 Mk2 RS2000’s imported from Germany in 1976 by Ford Australia, it was 1 of 2 cars allocated to Coach Craft Ford in Queensland for John English. Having competed in the Australian Touring Car Championship for 3 years it was eventually sold off. Long time Victorian RS2000 enthusiast Adil Jemali saw the opportunity and purchased the car after it sat idle for many years and has recently taken to competing within the Heritage Touring Car ranks. Our event has a very strong small Ford following and we hope they enjoy seeing these special Escorts back on the track.

Arguably the most iconic of all Bathurst privateers were the pairing of Trevor Ashby and Steve Reed. Their 1987 VL Group A Commodore, built from a Holden Motorsport shell by Wally Storey for the Sydney based Lansvale Smash Repairs team went on to finish 10th outright in Bathurst 87. After a couple of more seasons it was sold off to reality TV pioneer, Laurie Donaher of Sylvania Waters for his and son Mick’s campaigns between 1990 and 92. The car made its way to NZ for life as a Sports Sedan before being restored back into Group A specs and brought back to Australia in 2023. Making its debut at the Baskerville Historics in the hands of owner Don Dimitriadis, who doesn’t love a good ol V8 VL Walkinshaw ?

We have been so excited to be able to share this news, but now is the time! The 1991 Bathurst winning Nissan GTR will be racing at the 2026 Baskerville Historics. We cannot thank Tony Alford enough for bringing the car out of Bathurst Motor Museum, and having the car readied to be driven again. OMG how exciting, we either loved them or hated them back in the day, but now 30+ years on, I think we all can appreciate what an awesome piece of kit they were. October 16-18th, 2026, Bulk Nutrients Baskerville Raceway, don’t miss it!

Godzilla is heading to Tassie!
