Albany Car Classic 2017

The Albany Classic is a historic race event and is one of only two events of its type still going today in Australia. The modern event is as much a festival as serious motorsport and caters for the whole family. Crowds line the city streets to witness the vintage and classic cars  zooming around the streets and our SEA  performers zooming in the skies.
