The 'Group 3H' Holden (HQ) of Sarah MitchellFrom the late 1980s, the Holden HQ was used in Australia as the basis of a one-make motor racing category with an emphasis on cost. The category began in but very quickly expanded to every state and New Zealand to become the entry-level motor racing category nationwide.
