From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
AUSCAR (Australian Stock Car Auto Racing) was the Australian counterpart of NASCAR, starting in 1986 and continuing until 2001. The cars were designed to race on the paved oval tracks at Calder Park Thunderdome and Adelaide International Raceway, but were also raced on road courses. The cars were not pure space frame chassis, but were built on Australian Holden Commodore and Ford Falcon road car chassis. As a result, AUSCARs are right-hand-drive, and race clockwise at ovals, compared to the left-hand-drive anticlockwise NASCAR cars.
