Now into its fourth decade, the southern hemisphere’s largest historic race meeting was spread over four days in March, just before the cessation of sporting events.
Motor racing on Phillip Island, south of Melbourne, goes back further than a mere forty years though, to the first Australian Grand Prix, held on public roads here in 1928. While no cars from the 20’s were competing this year, if there were drivers, officials or spectators of this vintage present, they weren’t admitting it!
