Group N Touring Cars is an Australian motor racing category for touring cars built before December 1972.[1]
The category was introduced in 1981[2] and was initially known as Group N (Appendix J) Saloon Cars (Pre 1965).[3] Cars had to be series production type saloons with seating for four, manufactured prior to 31 December 1964, of which at least 100 had been produced.[3] Mechanical modifications were permitted with the intention of emulating racing under the Appendix J regulations which were current in Australia until 31 December 1964.[3]
The eligibility criteria were amended in 1995 to include cars built up to 31 December 1972.[4]
Group N is currently divided into three classes.[1]
Group Na is for cars commercially available in Australia prior to 31 December 1957.[1]
Group Nb is for cars manufactured prior to 31 December 1964 of which 100 have been produced.[1]
