Hi everyoneThe first points event of the 2026 W.A.R. Driver Championship/"Pom" Jones Trophy is the 11th running of the Mick Spry Memorial Trophy-Bathurst Challenge to be held on Saturday 31 January 2026 from 4pm.
The trophy is named in honour of our much missed late friend and fellow racer, who was the reigning W.A.R. Bathurst Challenge Champion at the time when he left us much too early.
There will be 3 rounds of racing:

Round 2 - 8 x 3 minute heats on the WAR track for the 132 Classic Touring Cars class
Round 3 - 8 x 3 minute heats on the WAR track for the 132 Sideways GT3/GTE class
Points will be awarded to each driver based on their finishing position in each round.
The winner of the Mick Spry Trophy-Bathurst Challenge will be the driver with the most accumulated points over the three rounds raced.
