Many
Australians each year choose to travel to historic racing events around
the world. Many of them compete in their cars (shipped, air freighted
or based overseas), and others travel to spectate.
In
2013 we will read about stories from many Australians competing overseas.
A contingent of competitors travelled to New Zealand in January and
February to compete in events in both the South & North islands.
These included Formula Junior, Formula 3 and Formula 5000.
There
are four Australians taking cars to Italy’s Mille Miglia this
May. They include Aston Martin DB2 & MG K3. Australians will also
be competing at the Pau Historique in May in cars such as Cooper F1.
There are also a brace of Formula Junior cars on their way for events
at Dijon and Goodwood later in the year.
Historic
Racing Australia founder, Charles Rogers is embarking on a five and
a half week trip of the United Kingdom and Europe this April-June.
The trip will include patronage as a journalist reporter to the following
event:

NZ Festival of Motor Racing – Celebrating Bruce McLaren
NZ’s
Jim Barclay has proved that you do not need travel to Europe or the
USA to find the worlds most rare and desirable racing cars –
a quick trip across the Tasman Sea was all that was needed in January
2010 to capture this.
Full
range of articles and photos from the two events at Hampton Downs
and Pukekohe can be found on this web site.
2004
Goodwood Revival Race meeting & Tour
Back
in 2004 Charles Rogers travelled overseas as part of the Goodwood
Revival Tour. The tour, en-route to the Revival visited numerous car
destinations in Europe, including the Ferrari, Maserati, Ducati, Fiat,
BMW and Mercedes-Benz factories and museums, and once in the United
Kingdom visited the Aston Martin and Morgan factories, McLaren Formula
One Technology centre and the Donnington Grand Prix Collection.
We
spent three fabulous summer days at Goodwood that year. Please take
the time to view the photo galleries from the event & the rare
in-sight into uncharted territory for most historic motor racing enthusiasts
with the various factory and museum visits now online too.
