1975 Australian Sports Car Championship
The 1975 Australian Sports Car Championship was a CAMS sanctioned Australian motor racing title open to Group A Sports Cars and Group D Production Sports Cars.[1] The championship was contested over a single race staged at the Phillip Island circuit in Victoria, Australia on 30 November 1975.[2] The race was run over 30 laps of the 4.76km circuit, a total race distance of 143km.[2] It was the seventh Australian Sports Car Championship, and the only one in the twenty-year history of the title to be contested over a single race rather than over a series of races.[3]

gollark: Avaritia is just Draconic Evolution but more so.
gollark: It is just NOT VERY FUN to be forced into using one insanely overpowered mod.
gollark: Why even have it if you claim you can't practically use it then?
gollark: It's not balanced just because you have to wait a while for automation to make the stuff you need.
gollark: And it's *not fun* if your only choice for being competitive involves going for one mod. It's like DE.
