Shrike (racing car)

Shrike (racing car)

Shrike was a racing car developed in Australia by the Croydon Park Institute of TAFE in 1988 and 1989. It was based on the then new Formula Holden regulations which involved an aluminium tub monocoque, powered by a 3.6 litre Buick sourced Holden engine, then in use to power the Holden Commodore. The car proved to be instantly competitive in the Australian Drivers' Championship against designs from Elfin Sports Cars and Cheetah Racing Cars, and imported Formula 3000 from Ralt.

Five cars, referred to as the NB89H, were built, and continued to be raced in Formula Holden into the late 1990s.
