PERFORMANCE CAR OF THE YEAR 2018

 This is the big event, and you can read all about it in our new issue. We took reigning Bathurst champ David Reynolds and 10 awesome cars along for an epic trip through the Alpine region of Victoria.

THE TRACK

 Starting at Winton Raceway to lay down some lap times with our mate Dave at the wheel, the first day of PCOTY is where the maths comes into it.

THE ROAD

 This is where the driver’s cars really shine, as the road section of PCOTY reveals which cars you can have fun with at any time, in any place.

 Faster, louder, and angrier Pony lives up to the hype. Better than the last one? You bet!
