Going for Gold at Historic Sandown

Historic racing enthusiasts wanting a driver’s view of all the action will be ‘going for gold’ at this year’s VACC Historic Sandown from November 7-9.

To bring the excitement of historic racing closer to spectators, the Victorian Historic Racing Register is offering an advance purchase Gold Pass to the meeting that includes three exclusive viewing locations, an insiders’ view of the pit garages, a Sunday BBQ lunch and a unique Gold cap and lanyard.

The primary viewing spot for Gold Pass patrons will be a dedicated and air-conditioned room in the Sandown grandstand, overlooking the main straight. 

As well as being the location of Sunday’s gourmet lunch, the room will be the hub from where a regular shuttle bus service will take Gold Pass holders to special viewing areas at Turn 1 and the popular Red Hill area, where most of the action and overtaking can be seen at close range.

In addition, all Gold patrons will be given a guided took of the Sandown pit area and garages and will in the running to win one of 10 rides in a Group N Historic Touring car during the meeting.

Dedicated undercover parking inside the circuit, a meeting programme and adult admission for Saturday and Sunday are included in the Gold Pass price of $225 per person. Gold Passes are only available by advance purchase through the VHRR’s website at www.vhrr.com prior to October 27.

An entry of around 300 racing, sports and touring cars spanning eight decades will take part in the annual Historic Sandown meeting, with highlights including an expected entry of 28 Formula 5000s for the VACC Formula 5000 races and capacity fields for both Group N Touring Cars and Category S Production Sports Cars.

Special anniversaries being celebrated at the meeting include the 40th anniversary of the Holden Monaro’s first race victory in the 1968 Sandown 3-Hour enduro in the hands of Bob Watson and Tony Roberts and the 50th year of the MG Car Club, with more than 100 MGs participating in the meeting.
