The Shadow racing cars, run by Era Motorsport, include the high-powered Can-Am MKI Mosport, MKI Prototype and MKIII along with a 1975 Shadow DN6B Formula 5000 car, with international drivers amongst those who will drive the cars at the event – drivers to be confirmed at a later date.
The MKI Mosport, MKI Prototype and MkIII were amongst the first Shadow Can-Am cars built in the early 1970s, featuring unique aerodynamics and V8-powered engines. The Shadow DN6B F5000 racer was driven in the 1975 and 1976 F5000 series, scoring a win at Road America in 1976.
Founded in 1968 as Advanced Vehicle Systems, Shadow Racing Cars made their mark on the motorsport world with wild race car designs and strategies in the 1970s, winning Can-Am championships and a Formula 1 grand prix with future Australian world champion Alan Jones.
The 2025 Repco Adelaide Motorsport Festival will once again feature various categories, ranging from Formula 1 cars, V8 Supercars, sportscars, touring cars, motorbikes and more with the action non-stop without a break in track activity at any stage of the day. Off track there will be car displays, kids' zones, bars and food trucks, exhibitors and traders, activations and more, in a picnic in the park setting.
