A huge part of the Geelong Revival Motoring Festival is the National Sprint Title, Quarter Mile Sprints. The historic Sprints have been conducted in the same location since 1956 and are no doubt the focal point of the entire event. Almost 300 cars and motorbikes compete for the coveted Geelong Revival Motoring Festival trophy in a range of historic classes.
Get right in to the heart of the action in the Geelong Revival Pits where you’ll see over 130 bikes and cars being prepared for action on our Sprint track each day.
You’ll also have the best seats in the house with a spot at the Pit Bar trackside or get the best view in motorsport around the iconic Geelong Revival start bowl.
You never know who you’ll meet in the Pits – past racing legends and their cars are always near. Here you will be able to talk to the drivers and Pit Crew and get up-close-and-personal with all the best cars on the track.
This is where the real action happens and your senses truly come alive. This is the real, raw deal.
Experience the real Geelong Revival in The Pits.
At the Geelong Revival we’re not like other car shows….
While many other car shows are designed for certain car scenes, we pride ourselves on being inclusive. Because we were formed from a love of vintage racing, we welcome all vintage vehicles and are pleased to welcome back over 500 unique cars and bikes to the Shannons Classic Motorshow.
This year we will showcase classic, modern, performance, European and domestic vehicles. We pride ourselves on uniting the automotive community by inviting all kinds of vehicles to the Classic Motorshow. Entrants travel from around Victoria and Australia to display their vehicles at Geelong Revival and we are excited to share with you the beautiful and rare entrants we have this year.
Motorcycle Mecca on Customs Lawn is the place for all things two wheels and wild; whether vintage or new you are sure to find some real treasures here.
It is free for you to display your bike, and bikes may ride-in and ride-out any time during the day with plenty of space available. We have a designated way to get here to make parking a breeze.
If you would like your motorcycle to be judged, you must register your contact details by 10am on each display day.
With manufacturer displays, exhibits, live demonstrations and hundreds of bikes on show, the Motorcycle Mecca zone also has a great selection of food vendors and motorcycle club displays.
There’s no need for individual motorcyclists to book ahead, however if you’d like a club space please contact: motorshow@geelongrevival.com.au
