The 47th Historic Winton, Australia’s longest-running historic car and motorcycle race event, will be held on May 25 and May 26, 2024, at Winton Motor Raceway.
Thousands of historic race competitors and spectators will flock to Winton Motor Raceway for another “edge-of-your-seat” weekend full of thrills and spills.
Organised by the Austin 7 Club Inc., president Len Kerwood said the inaugural N Class Touring Car Tin Top Regularity event was such a big hit in 2023 that it would be on the program again next year.
“The Tin Tops (touring cars from pre-1958 to 1972) will be among 400-odd cars and motorbikes competing at Historic Winton,” Kerwood said.
“Vehicles from the beginning of motoring to the mid-1980s will grace the track.
“The Sunday Parade is another favourite ‘best of’ event with participating vehicles chosen from anniversary and car park displays.
“Motoring enthusiasts arrive in their historic vehicles, turning the car parks into magnificent showcases.”
Every driver’s dream is to cruise around Winton Motor Raceway in the Sunday Parade, and Kerwood said he had requests streaming in as the event was getting closer.
But, like an automotive Santa, Kerwood delivers invitations placed under the windscreen wipers of lucky drivers early in the morning on Sunday while the drivers are still asleep.
“Participants will be selected based on the number of vehicles in an anniversary group, rarity and presentation,” he said.
Kerwood said research for the 2024 anniversary vehicle displays was under way.
The president will surely have his eyes on several Austin 7 models, which will celebrate 90-year anniversaries.
He’ll also look out for Dodge-produced vehicles as the maker celebrates its centenary.
The full list of anniversary display vehicles will be announced next year.
