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:
“Each Australian is a Ulysses.”
—Christina Stead (1902–1983)
“The car has become the carapace, the protective and aggressive shell, of urban and suburban man.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
“Let us have a good many maples and hickories and scarlet oaks, then, I say. Blaze away! Shall that dirty roll of bunting in the gun-house be all the colors a village can display? A village is not complete, unless it have these trees to mark the season in it. They are important, like the town clock. A village that has them not will not be found to work well. It has a screw loose, an essential part is wanting.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
