Nearly 50 retro rally cars will be there. From a 1951 Peugeot 203 (as ran in the 1953 Redex Round Australia Trial), to BMC works UK prepared Mini and Austin 1800, to a Nissan Japan works prepared Datsun Stanza.
From the World Rally Championship there will be a Lancia Fulvia, a Renault Alpine, two Fiat 131 Abarths, and an Audi Quattro.
Rally fans familiar with the Australian Rally Championship cars in the 70s and 80s will recognise the Ford Escort of Greg Carr, the Datsuns of George Fury and Ross Dunkerton, and the Mitsubishi Starion of David ‘Dinta’ Officer.
The venue opens to the public at 10:00 am and the cars take to the dirt rally track from around 11:00 am. Entry is $10 per car and the first 200 cars receive a Rally Retro Showbag.
Visitors will be able to view the action from three viewing mounds, as well as mingle with the cars and drivers in the display area.
The Geelong Motorsports Complex is on Beach Road Avalon, just near the freeway exit.
Food vendors will be on site.
