Bikes from the 1960s through to the 1990s will return to racing action at the event, with an incredible 40 races confirmed on this year’s packed out schedule. Races will cater for bikes of all sizes and capacities, from 125cc pocket rocket two strokes right up to 1000cc-plus monsters. Highlight races include the ACU Classic Championship and the ACU Post Classic, which features the prestigious Wheatcroft Trophy race, while the Lansdowne Cup for Grand Prix and road-based machinery is a traditional favourite.

Three wheeled machinery will again feature, with two classic sidecar races on each day, while there will be regular track parades, including a 50 years of the Yamaha TZ750 commemoration and another for GP Legends.

Off track highlights will include massive display areas with hundreds more bikes set to be on show, with many of these taking to the track during the parade sessions. The Vintage Japanese Motorcycle Club will also have a big presence on the Melbourne Loop.

Tickets are available at advance rates online until 4pm on Thursday 25 July, after which they’ll be available upon arrival at gate prices. Click here.
