From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2005 Australian Performance Car Championship was an Australian motor sport competition for Performance Cars.[1] It was sanctioned by the Confederation of Australian Motor Sport as a National Championship with GT Performance Racing Pty Ltd. appointed as the Category Manager.[1] It was the first time that the Australian Performance Car Championship name had been used, although similar titles had been run in the two previous years as the Australian GT Performance Car Championship.[2]
Peter Floyd won the championship by 39 points driving a HSV GTS. Garry Holt finished second with 2003 Australian GT Performance Car champion Mark King third.
The championship was contested over a seven round series with three races per round.[3]
