Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use Australian English The 1975 Australian Tourist Trophy was a motor race staged at the Calder circuit in Victoria, Australia[1] on 25 May 1975.[2] The race was open to Production Sports Cars[1] and was recognized by the Confederation of Australian Motor Sport as an Australian national title race.[3] It was the thirteenth Australian Tourist Trophy and the first to be awarded since 1968.[3] The race, which was contested over two heats, was won by Peter Warren driving a Bolwell Nagari.[1]
Summary
The race was contested over two, 25 lap, 40 km heats.[4] Points were awarded on a 15-14-13-12-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 basis to the first fifteen finishers in each heat.[5]
The first heat was won by Peter Warren and the second by Steve Webb, both driving Bolwell Nagaris.[1] Warren and Paul Trevathan (MGB) finished equal on points after the two heats with Warren initially declared the winner and presented with the trophy.[1] The decision was then revised with Trevethan determined to be the winner, having finished higher in the second heat.[1] Warren lodged a successful protest based on his faster combined heat times, as per the race regulations.[1]
