    Default Adelaide Motorsport Festival

    Just a signal boost for what looks to be a great event...

    ADELAIDE MOTORSPORT FESTIVAL
    WINDY POINT HILLCLIMB* & VICTORIA PARK SPRINT
    12TH & 13TH APRIL, 2014

    Not since 1995, has Formula 1 action hit the streets of Adelaide in the size or scale we will be seeing at the Adelaide Motorsport Festival.



    The Adelaide Motorsport Festival is a virtual “museum-in-motion”. A two-day festival that draws upon South Australia’s rich motorsport history and celebrates and re-enacts motorsport competition of a by-gone era. Grand Prix cars from the 1930s to the 1990s are the main focus for the inaugural Adelaide Motorsport Festival and the event is rounded out with a diverse field of historic touring cars, sports cars and classic motorcycles that are welcome to enter as well as displays from some of the greatest classic cars from across the years.



    The Adelaide Motorsport Festival is designed to attract local, interstate and international competition cars and motorcycles. The first day of the festival sees classic sports, touring and special interest vehicles undertaking a proposed hillclimb at Windy Point (6km from CBD) whilst the second day features on-track competition on a section of the famous Australian Grand Prix circuit which is now well known as the Clipsal 500 track.



    Many of the vehicles attending are rare and collectable pieces often with a colourful story to tell. Approximately 12 Formula 1 cars have been sourced to attend the Adelaide Motorsport Festival, conjuring up the same sights, sounds and smells that could be found trackside at previous Australian Grand Prix events.



    The Adelaide Motorsport Festival intends on being true and authentic to South Australia’s rich motor racing heritage whilst creating new event experiences with relevance and meaning to the Adelaide motor racing enthusiast.



    Both competitors and spectators are encouraged to dress up in period-costume on the Sunday. This will not only help portray an accurate re-creation of motorsport of the past, you might even win a prize for best dressed on the day!

    Lots of good old Toyotas in the Hillclimb, I know the AJPS team will be out in force, truenosedan in his Beams AE71, skizzamods in his Beams AE86 and Konakid in his 22RTE RT142 wagon.
    The 18R-G. The GOOD 2 Litre Tractor motor.
