Event date: 7 - 10 April 2022

If you have never been to the Australian Grand Prix you have missed out on a wonderful 4 day event – and you don’t even have to watch the racing!

In return for having a car on display throughout the entire event 20 of our members get 2 General Admission tickets each which were much sought after this year – Saturday and Sunday were both sold out.

Despite being moved back a little in the calendar this year’s event had perfect weather and a great atmosphere with the added thrill of some unintended nearly-night-time racing as delays pushed the schedule into fading light.

Our display this year had a perfect balance starting with 4 cars proudly telling BMW’s post 1959 technical bankruptcy recovery at one end, and 8 M-Cars celebrating 50 years of M at the other bookending a lovely selection of E30s, including 2 gorgeous JPS Editions and 2 Baurs, a 535i, a 840i and everyone’s favourite fun roadster the Z3.

It was very pleasing to see so many people taking a proper look at our cars and showing a genuine interest in the display. I was also proud on behalf of our members to receive a number of compliments about individual cars and the line up in general, which is a great credit to our members.

It is a big sacrifice to bump one’s car in on Weds morning and not get it back until late Sun evening and we are very grateful to our members who did so.  This made for a magic 4 days. And the racing was good too!
