Festival of Speed’s new look
The 2020 Festival of Speed will be held at Sydney Motorsport Park on 20-22 March 2020, promoted for the 14th year by Post Classic Racing Association of NSW. This year will celebrate our Homegrown Heroes – the riders that raced at world class level.
Confirmed guest riders include Robbie Phillis, Jeff Sayle, Murray Sayle, John Pace, Wayne Clarke, Shawn Giles, Russell Howard, Buster Saunders, Bob Rosenthal and Barry Ditchburn. These guests will compete in the Homegrown Relay Challenge, where they will ride identical Period 6 bikes – 1990 Honda CBR250RRs. They will team up and swap riding with the bike’s owner mid-way through each of the two 6 lap legs. There will be racing for Period 3 (up to 1962) to Period 6 (up to 1990) solos and sidecars, as well as Buckets, and Pre-Modern machines (up to 1997). Feature Races on Sunday afternoon will include the Unlimited Top 45 Challenge, Two Stroke Challenge, Period 3 500cc Barry Sheene Classic, European Challenge, Bucket and Sidecar Handicaps.
As well as the always-exciting racing, spectators will be able to meet and greet the Homegrown Heroes, check out the historic racing bike displays, trade stands and motorcycle clubs stands. Even the parking lot is worth a look. Open pits allow spectators to come and look at the race bikes up close and talk with the competitors.
The event is under new management. Bookings for trade stands and club stands are now open.
