Please join us, VARAC, for a one-day vintage racing event — the Peter Jackson Trophy Races at Shannonville Motorsport Park. This event named in honour of our dear friend and tireless volunteer, Peter Jackson, takes place on Saturday July 12, 2025.

It’s an intense, fun, "on-track” packed day! You get Practice, Qualy and two races, all on the one day. You get basically the same run time here as a two-day regional for 40% of the cost!!

All races will run on the Pro Track (2.47 km).

We expect to run 3 race run groups: VHC - Vintage / Historic (VH) and Classic (pre 1999) and Modern Classic CL/MC 3-5 & CMC-Modern Classic (extension of CL for cars from 2000-2005 and beyond in some continuation cases) CL/MC Bracket Classes B, A. 1-2 and Formula Classic (open wheel/ Monoposto race cars built up to 1999).

Note - VARAC runs sub-groups in VH & CL/MC on a time bracket basis ie VH1, VH2, CL1, CL2, etc. VARAC racers will know where to place themselves. If you are non-VARAC and raced the 24 VVGP, place yourself in the sub-group you finished the event in. If you are new to VARAC, please contact me Dave Good varacracedirector@gmail.com and I will guide you on this. More info on brackets, breakouts to follow… but—don’t lose sleep over this—register in the closest you think applies, and by afternoon race time it’ll sort itself out.
