The 1935 Winter 100[1] was a motor race held at the Phillip Island circuit, near Cowes on Phillip Island, in Victoria, Australia on 3 June 1935.[2] The race, which was organised by the Light Car Club of Australia, was staged over 16 laps, a total distance of 100 miles.[1] It was contested on a handicap basis with the first car scheduled to start 19 minutes 45 seconds before the Scratch car.[1]
The race was won by A Barrett driving a Morris Cowley from a handicap of 20 minutes 30 seconds. JW Williamson (Riley Imp), who started from Scratch, set the fastest race time and the fastest race lap and was placed second on handicap.[3]
Sources vary as to the actual race name with "Winter 100",[1] "winter 100 miles race"[2] and "100-miles Winter Handicap"[4] all being used in contemporary sources.
