LOBETHAL GRAND CARNIVAL

 

The Event

Planned for October 11-12, 2008, the Lobethal Grand Carnival,
to be conducted by Vintage Motorsport Carnivals Pty Ltd., and assisted by SA Tourism and the Adelaide Hills Council, will be run in conjunction with Sporting Car Club of SA Inc, Motorcycling SA Inc and under the rules of demonstration events in accord with CAMS and MA guidelines.

The format is for full-lap, closed road demonstrations on the original 8.65 mile (14km) Lobethal Race Circuit over the October weekend.

Racing and competition sports cars and motorcycles, predominantly of the 1938-1948 period, will take once more to what has been regarded as Australia's greatest-ever motor racing circuit, some 60 years after the last event in 1948, and a healthy 70 years after the inaugural South Australian GP of 1938.

 

Display at Birdwood

From March 30th, the National Motor Museum at Birdwood will host a dedicated exhibition to herald the proposed Lobethal Grand Carnival.

Among the exhibits will be the famous MGK3 which raced to success in the first major event at Lobethal in 1938. Once owned by the legendary Prince Bira of Siam, the car has a glorious Australian history including 3rd place in the 1953 Australian Grand Prix driven by Andy Brown of Adelaide.

Racing motorcycles and other racing memorabilia will enhance the six-month long display, which follows the highly successful Elfin exhibition.
