The is a new festival in Adelaide combining two major events - the Classic Adelaide Rally (held on October 16-17), and the Victoria Park Sprint (October 18-19).

Classic Adelaide Rally
The Classic Adelaide Rally is returning to the streets of the Adelaide Hills and Fleurieu Peninsula of South Australia for the first time in six years, bringing back the adrenaline thrills not seen on tarmac roads in Adelaide for so long. The entry field will be split into pre and post 1986 cars, with different challenges for each field.



Scrutineering for the Classic Adelaide Rally takes place at Victoria Park on Thursday October 25. On the Friday cars flock out to the Fleurieu Peninsula for the first day of the rally, while Saturday sees the sleek machines race for the twists and bends of the scenic Adelaide Hills.



Spectators wanting to get up close with the cars on Friday should try at Strathalbyn or Yankalilla, or join in the fun of the street party on Gouger Street in Adelaide from 5pm. Unfortunately no details about the street party were available at time of writing, but expect similar fun as for the Targa Adelaide Rally .

Catch the cars on Saturday morning at Nairne or celebrate their success at the Stirling street party with lunch. More details about the Classic Adelaide Rally on Adelaide Rally its website .
