Get right in to the heart of the action in the Geelong Revival Pits where you’ll see over 100 bikes and cars being prepared for action on our Sprint track.
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.

This is where the real action happens and your senses truly come alive. This is the real, raw deal.

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.
