The Holden Dealer Racing Team (HDRT) was an Australian motor racing team, covertly backed by Holden through its dealer network so as to get around General Motors's worldwide ban on the company being involved in motorsport. The HDRT contested the 1968 Bathurst 500 endurance race at the Mount Panorama Circuit, Bathurst, as well as the 1968 London-Sydney Marathon using Holdxen's latest car, the Holden Monaro HK.
Although short-lived, this team was significant as the precursor to a permanent Holden Dealer Team set up the following year which then played a dominant role in Australian touring car racing over the next two decades.
