Project Supercars, in partnership with the Canberra Racing Club, is delighted to announce that the second Canberra Festival of Speed will be held at Thoroughbred Park on Saturday, 25 January and Sunday, 26 January 2025.
The motorsport festival with European flare debuted in March 2024, capturing the imagination of over 13,500 patrons.
"We were so proud of the positive feedback we received after this year's event." Project Supercars Peter Bakavgas said.
"The team has been pursued for months by people asking when the event will happen again, there's so much excitement and anticipation."
"It has really inspired us to make the Canberra Festival of Speed bigger and better in 2025."
"There are more big announcements to come."
The 2025 Canberra Festival of Speed promises to stimulate all the senses with electrifying sights, sounds and smells with purpose-built exhibition circuit to be amongst the highlights once again.
The circuit showcased some of the world's rarest vehicles in 2024, including a Ferrari F40, Lola F1 car, Ferrari P4 Le Mans, plus modern exotics like a Lamborghini Aventador and McLaren Senna.
The top echelon of Australian motorsport was also represented by the Gen3 Camaro Supercars racer of Canberra Festival of Speed ambassador Cameron Hill and the Matt Stone Racing team.
"These special cars are the heart of our event and why people travelled from far and wide in year 1." Bakavgas said.
"Some of these cars are vehicles that people would only ever see on screens, and not in person and that's a massive part of what's driving our success."
"People can't believe the up-close access they have to these incredible cars, their owners and to see them under throttle is the icing on the cake."
Owners of high-end luxury, supercar, exotic and motorsport vehicles, including Formula One and European Le Mans cars are invited to enter their car in the Festival of Speed.
Canberra Racing Club Chief Executive Officer Darren Pearce said, "Canberra's newest driver of tourism, the inaugural Canberra Festival of Speed attracted patrons from near and far with over 30% of tickets purchased outside of the ACT."
"The long weekend is a wonderful opportunity for us to grow tourism to Canberra and showcase everything our wonderful territory has to offer."
The Canberra Festival of Speed will feature an immersive AV experience, exhibitors, music and a European food village with flavours from Italy, Germany, France and more.
