Created by the Great Lakes Historic Automobile Club some thirty-odd
years ago, this annual event has become a great day out for
families and car buffs alike, often attracting crowds in the
thousands. The Great Lakes Historic Automobile Club invites all
motor clubs to join us overlooking beautiful Cape Hawke Harbour
at Tuncurry. The club expects the event will exceed our very
successful 2023 event where we had more than 290 vehicles on
display.
Each year sees increasing interest in displays by numerous car
clubs with trophies to be awarded to 'Best Club Display' for the
winner and runner-up.
Prizes and trophies, provided by local businesses, will be
presented across a broad range of vehicles. A new category of
‘Under the Bonnet’ was trialed at the 2024 event.
Everyone Welcome
The motor show is not restricted to car clubs, so motorists with
vehicles that may be of 'special interest' are welcome to join
in with fellow enthusiasts. Come on down to John Wright Park
with your vehicle between 8am to 2pm on Sunday, 8th June, 2025.
We are also expecting a good display of motorcycles.
If it's on wheels, we welcome it at Motorfest! Annually
featuring Veteran, Vintage & Classic Cars, Motorcycles, Muscle
Cars, Hot Rods, Stationary Engines, Street Machines and more.
Every year, our Club strives to put on a bigger and better
event.
Rocker Cover Racing
New
to Motorfest 2025 will be the inaugural Rocker Cover Racing
competition.
Rocker Cover Racing gives old, unused rocker covers
from actual engines a second chance at life. No longer will they
be a small and unnoticed elements of a bigger product. With
Rocker Cover Racing, they leave their engines and the cars
they're tightly packed in behind as they themselves become the
centerpiece.
Competitors take these old rocker covers
and transform them into speed machines. With wheels and axles
put on and of course racing stripes (to make it go faster), the
rocker covers are ready for action. The only limit - one's
creativity!
DONKS Club, Food and More...
On display also will be a very interesting array of stationary
engines from the DONKS Club. Great Lakes FM will be broadcasting
live throughout the show. Hot food and coffee will be available.
During the day, our roving reporter will provide interesting
interviews with car owners, the public and our vendors.
