South Pacific Touring Series
- South Pacific Touring Series
The South Pacific Touring Series was an Australian touring car series held during the 1970s and run in conjunction with the famous open-wheeler Tasman Series.
The South Pacific Series was held between 1970 and 1975 during the month of February. Up until 1973 it was run for Series Production cars and from 1973 onwards (like the Bathurst 1000 endurance race) it switched to the new Australian Group C Touring Car regulations.
The series' position on the racing calendar meant that it was the first title up for grabs by the Ford and Holden teams every year. Winners of the series included famous touring car drivers such as Allan Moffat, Colin Bond, John Goss and nine times Bathurst winner Peter Brock.
Harry Firth's Holden Dealer Team won the title four times (1971, 1973-1975). By the mid-1970s however the South Pacific Touring Series was in decline and after the 1975 series it was allowed to die a natural death.
