Sports Sedans and Invited Cars
Queensland holds a Sports Sedans & Invited Cars Championship each year as part of the Queensland Circuit Racing State Championship, and it is for this group that racing grids are secured. The front runners in this group are typically spaceframe chassis cars with silhouette bodies, but also includes extensively modified factory body shell builds.
Nested within SS&Inv racing is the Queensland Floor Pan Sports Sedans Championship. While these cars are racing for SS&Inv points, at the same time they will also be battling for victory in the Floor Pan competition, with more detail about that here: [jump to Floor Pan]
There are multiple eligible vehicles for the Queensland Sports Sedans & Invited Cars Championship, and we have provided a link to cover each of them in more detail;
