The 1965 Lowood 4 Hour was an endurance motor race held at the Lowood circuit in Queensland, Australia on 28 March 1965.[1] The race, which was organised by the Queensland Racing Drivers Club,[1] was the second annual Lowood 4 Hour.[2] It was open to Production Touring Cars which had been manufactured after 28 March 1961, 100 examples of which had been registered in Australia by the closing date for entries.[3] The field was divided into four classes according to the retail price of each vehicle.[4] There were 33 starters in the event.[2]
Although the Morris Cooper S driven by John Harvey and Brian Foley took "line honours",[4] outright results were not officially recognised[2] and official results were only issued for class placings.[5]
Note: Car 51 was eligible for the race under a Lowood pro-rata clause.[6]
