Beikoff also recently acquired an FG Falcon that was built by Triple Eight. Beikoff famously owns one of the oldest Supercar spec machines still running, the 2002 AU Falcon, which he will drive himself. The remainder of the entry list is populated with an assortment of familiar names, including Shane Beikoff who will arrive in Sydney with two historic cars. There are some competitors racing this weekend who haven’t been on the track for a while, which is very encouraging. “All the Kumho Series rounds are on permanent circuits, so there’s less propensity for damage than there is on street circuits and it’s aimed as a relaxed, friendly and enjoyable series.

“I love the thrill of driving my old V8 Supercars, but I recognise I’m a ‘gentleman driver’ and I’m racing for enjoyment, rather than trying to forge a professional career,” Pollicina said. Pollicina said the Kumho V8 Classic Racing Series is appealing to owners of V8 Supercars with historical significance, who want to enjoy racing their cars without the pressure of competing against younger, aspiring professional racers. This weekend, Pollicina slots into his ex-Craig Lowndes Triple 8 Commodore, famous for running a Peter Brock tribute livery in the 2012 Bathurst 1000 where it finished third in the hands of Lowndes and Warren Luff. The entry list features a number of familiar names including Sydneysider Jim Pollicina, known for his exploits in a range of V8 machines including HSV production cars and his Torana in Touring Car Masters.
