The 1994 Australian Touring Car season was the 35th year of touring car racing in Australia since the first runnings of the Australian Touring Car Championship and the fore-runner of the present day Bathurst 1000, the Armstrong 500.
Two major touring car categories raced in Australia during 1994, V8 Supercar and Super Touring. Between them there were 21 touring car race meetings held during 1994; a ten round series for V8 Supercars, the 1994 Australian Touring Car Championship (ATCC); a six round series for Super Touring, the 1994 Australian Manufacturers' Championship (AMC); support programme events at the 1994 Australian Grand Prix and 1994 Australian FAI Indycar Grand Prix, two stand alone long distance races, nicknamed 'enduros'; the Winfield Triple Challenge at Eastern Creek Raceway.
Famous quotes containing the words australian, car and/or season:
“The Australian mind, I can state with authority, is easily boggled.”
—Charles Osborne (b. 1927)
“The car has become the carapace, the protective and aggressive shell, of urban and suburban man.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
“The season developed and matured. Another year’s installment of flowers, leaves, nightingales, thrushes, finches, and such ephemeral creatures, took up their positions where only a year ago others had stood in their place when these were nothing more than germs and inorganic particles. Rays from the sunrise drew forth the buds and stretched them into long stalks, lifted up sap in noiseless streams, opened petals, and sucked out scents in invisible jets and breathings.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
