The 1985 Australian Sports Car Championship was a CAMS sanctioned motor racing title for drivers of Group A Sports Cars. It was the 17th Australian Sports Car Championship 〔Conditions for Australian Titles, 1985 CAMS Manual of Motor Sport, pages 86-89〕 and the first to be run concurrently with the Australian GT Championship.〔Barry Catford, Australian Sports/GT Championship, Australian Motor Racing Year, 1985/86, pages 220-233〕 1982 Australian Sports Car Champion won his second national title, driving a Kaditcha Chevrolet. The 1985 ASCC saw the début of the Veskanda Chevrolet (using a 5.0L Formula 5000 engine) and driven by dual Australian Drivers' Champion John Bowe. Built in Adelaide by K&A Engineering and owned by former ASCC driver Bernie Van Elsen, the Veskanda would go on to be regarded as Australia's fastest ever race car. The Veskanda made its race debut in Round 4 at its home circuit, the Adelaide International Raceway. The 1984 Champion, Queenslander Bap Romano driving his 3.9L Cosworth DFL powered Romano WE84 was expected to bring a strong challenge in defence of his title despite now running in the outright class due to the larger Cosworth V8 , but unreliability saw his challenge fade as the series progressed. ==Schedule== The championship was contested over a six round series.〔 * Round 1, Lakeside, Queensland, 24 March * Round 2, Oran Park, New South Wales, 5 May * Round 3, Winton, Victoria, 2 June * Round 4, Adelaide International Raceway, South Australia, 30 June * Round 5, Calder Park, Victoria, 11 August * Round 6, Surfers Paradise, Queensland, 25 August Rounds 2 & 3 were each contested over two heats and all other rounds were staged as single races.〔1985 Championship Results, Australian Motor Racing Year, 1985/86, pages 315-316〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1985 Australian Sports Car Championship」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
