Speed Events
Speed events promoted by VHRR include circuit races, sprints
and hillclimbs. There are two main circuit events:
- the Phillip Island
International Challenge held in
early March each year (1 week
prior to the
Australian F1 GP)
- the Sandown Trans Tasman
Challenge run in
November each year.
The
Phillip Island meeting is a major event and typically attracts
competitors from New Zealand, England, Europe Asia and the USA.
The
Sandown meeting re-lives the days when the Trans Tasman
Championship was the highlight of the Australasian motorsport
calendar. The crown for the top individual and top
country is fought out by formula cars from Australia and
New Zealand.
Sprints
and hillclimbs are also promoted by the club at various
locations. See the calendar for details.
Social
Events
Bi-monthly meetings are held at the club rooms in the
evening and normally have a guest speaker presenting and
discussing some aspect of motorsport - past or present.
Visits
to places of interest for motorsport enthusiasts are also
organised.
For
those who can make a lunchtime meeting, a group meets at the
clubrooms on Wednesdays (except during Christmas holidays)
starting at
around 12 noon.
Bring along your lunch and enjoy some good company.
There is a $2
charge to cover the cost of power.
Combined
Events
When speed events are held at locations outside Melbourne
these usually serve as a combination of speed and social event.
Many members take the opportunity to make the trip a weekend away.
