Australian Tourist Trophy
Encyclopedia
The Australian Tourist Trophy is a CAMS
sanctioned national motor racing title for sports car drivers. The title was awarded for the first time in 1956 and then annually from 1958 until the introduction by CAMS of an Australian Sports Car Championship
for 1969. It was reinstituted in 1975, restricted for the first time to Production Sports Cars and contested over two heats rather than as a single race. In 1976, with the Production Sports Car class now contesting the Australian Sports Car Championship, the Australian Tourist Trophy once again became a contest for purpose built Group A Sports Cars
until it was discontinued after the 1979 event.
After almost thirty years, the ATT title was again revived with the award going to the winner of the 2007 Sandown GT Classic
. For 2008 it was again bestowed upon the winner of the Sandown GT Classic. For 2010 the Australian Tourist Trophy was awarded to the driver accumulating the most outright championship points at the Eastern Creek and Phillip Island rounds of the 2010 Australian GT Championship.
