The Story

The World
Changed

The Australian Drivers' Championship has been contested since 1957 — the third oldest title in Australian motorsport.

Under the old stewardship, racing for the ADC was always the domain of the rich or very well connected. Cashless drivers with real talent stood behind the fence for 60 years watching a fortunate few circulate.

Then the Hyper Racer X1 was born and the world changed. In 2024, stewardship passed to AASA, and the X1 was selected as the car to contest the prestigious title — bringing premier open-wheeler performance to the serious competitor for the first time.

Today the ADC fields 20-plus cars each round. Professional and amateur alike. One car. One champion.
