Many of the cars competing were created in the earliest days of Australian Motorsport including specials from Miller, Bartlett and Brax. In the other categories you'll see Lotus, Mustang, Elfin, Jaguar, Porsche, Bolwell, Simca, Lola and many more. Check out this video to see an insider’s view of the track (click here - YouTube).  Thanks to Steve at United Fuel Injection & his Fiat 125T for the link.

Albany first experienced motor racing in 1936 with the 'WA 50 Mile T.T. Car Race'. This was the first round the houses style race in Australia and was run over a 4-mile circuit through the town. The modern layout follows part of the revised 1938 Grand Prix circuit and is 1.5 km in length overlooking the picturesque Princess Royal Harbour.

The Albany Classic is the premier round the houses historic regularity event in Australia and is one of only two events of its type still going today. The modern event is as much a festival as serious Motorsport but now caters for the whole family and a diverse range of motoring interest. Crowds line the city streets to witness the enthralling sight of vintage and classic cars taking part in the annual motor event. This year, cars covering 88 years of motoring development are competing or on display.
