The Tasmanian Tintops is a premier grassroots circuit racing category based in the island state of Australia. Known for its eclectic mix of vehicles, the series brings together a diverse field ranging from high-powered V8 sedans and turbocharged imports to smaller, agile hatchbacks. It serves as a cornerstone of the Tasmanian Circuit Racing Championship, providing a platform for local drivers to showcase their skills and machinery on some of Australia's most historic tracks, such as Symmons Plains Raceway and Baskerville Raceway. What makes the Tasmanian Tintops unique is its "open-door" philosophy, which allows a wide variety of car specifications to compete within the same field, often separated into classes based on performance. This results in exciting multi-class racing where spectators can see a Nissan GT-R battling a Holden Commodore or a Ford Escort. The series is celebrated for its community spirit and accessibility, acting as both a stepping stone for emerging talent and a competitive home for seasoned veterans of the Tasmanian motorsport scene. Throughout the racing season, the Tintops are a fan-favorite at major local events like the Baskerville Historics or the state championship rounds. The category emphasizes spirited but fair competition, maintaining a strong following due to the relatable nature of the "tintop" cars—vehicles that resemble those seen on the road but modified for the rigors of the track. As a vital part of Tasmania's rich motorsport heritage, the series continues to thrive, ensuring that door-to-door sedan racing remains a fixture of the southern Australian racing calendar.
