Adelaide Motorsport Festival to return this November

The Adelaide Motorsport Festival will return for 2022, organisers announced overnight.

Funding for the event was cut by the Government back in 2019, with the Opposition making its return an election promise – one the Premier-elect will be held to, with the Adelaide Motorsport Festival announcing the dates of November 23 to 27.

While timing has yet to be formally approved by authorities, the Goodwood-esque festival will include the Adelaide Rally – the largest tarmac rally in the world – and has been pencilled in for the week prior to the Supercars’ Adelaide 500 round, helping to capture motorsport tourists from around the country and the world.

Part of the city’s old Formula 1 street circuit will be used, with the event set to feature a number of former F1 cars from the late 1980s and early 1990s when Adelaide hosted the Australian Grand Prix.

Friday night will see the return of Peak Hour of Power – a parade of rare and exotic vehicles, including retired F1 cars, all of which will drive through the city at peak hour – before the Gouger Street Party kicks off in the restaurant precinct, featuring live music, pop-up bars, and celebrity appearances.
