2025 TA2 Racing Muscle Car Series

The 2025 TA2 Racing Muscle Car Series was the ninth year of the TA2 Racing Muscle Car Series, a racing series for TA2-class cars held in the eastern states of Australia. The series was promoted by TA2 Racing Australia, and was the first under the new ownership of a group of regular series competitors.[1]

It was one of two national series for this class of car in Australia - the other was the Australian National Trans-Am Series.

Traditionally ran over six rounds as the headline class at the Hi-Tec Oils Super Series, the series added a seventh round, as a support race at the Bathurst 6 Hour. This race was also part of the National Trans-Am Series, leading to an expected combined entry grid "in the vicinity of 40 cars" according to the series promoters.[2]
