1961 Australian Touring Car Championship
The 1961 Australian Touring Car Championship was a CAMS sanctioned Australian motor racing title for drivers of Appendix J Touring Cars.〔''National Titles'', 1961 CAMS Manual Of Motor Sport, page 53〕 The championship, which was contested over a single, 50 mile (82 km) race 〔Graham Howard, Stewart Wilson, David Greenhalgh, ''The Big Cats Reign'', The Official History of Australian Touring Car Championship – 50 Years〕 at the Lowood circuit in Queensland on 3 September 1961, was the second Australian Touring Car Championship.〔Graham Howard & Stewart Wilson, The Australian Touring Car Championship, 30 Fabulous Years, 1990, pages 26–32〕 The race was won by Bill Pitt, driving a Jaguar 3.4 Litre.〔
==Race overview==
Jaguars dominated the event, gaining the first five places on the grid and the top four race positions.〔 Pitt started the race from the front row but had to recover after polesitter Ian Geoghegan won the start and pulled away early.〔 He fought his way past Ron Hodgson then caught and passed Geoghegan whose car was fading with a minor clutch problem. Pitt eventually won by one third of a lap from Geoghegan and Hodgson.〔''Pitt Wins Touring Championship'', Australian Motor Sport, November 1961, pages 486-487〕 Behind the fourth-placed Jaguar of Bill Burns, Bob Holden was best of the non-Jaguar drivers in a Holden FJ ahead of Muir Daniel driving an Austin A105.
Geoghegan would win his first of five Australian Touring Car Championships in 1964 and Hodgson would achieve success as a team owner when Bob Morris won the 1979 title.
