Festival motors into an exciting new eraSCOTT WALSH

THE raging success of last year’sAdelaide Motorsport Festival hasprompted organisers to expand the2016 celebration of legendary,exotic and grassroots motoring to a

four-day event.Three Formula 1 drivers and the cars they

piloted during Adelaide’s Grand Prix era will headline the rolling museum that includes three days of the Classic Adelaide Rally through the Adelaide Hills and Fleurieu Peninsula, crossing over a two-day Victoria Park Sprint in the city.

But while international stars Stefan Johansson, Pierluigi Martini and Ivan Capelli will headline the motoring festival, a new Prima Tour aimed at everyday enthusiasts is set to take participation in the event to an accessible level.

The expansion has solidified the SA event’sstanding as the biggest festival of its kind in the southern hemisphere, and organiser Tim Possingham said making it as available to as

many participants as possible was crucial.“Last year we found there is a large pool of

people who are car enthusiasts who want to take part but the full-blown Classic Adelaide Rally requires a great deal of time and preparation, so it isn’t for everyone,” organiser Tim Possingham said.

“But there’s a huge market out there lookingfor motoring events to take part in. They’re looking for a number of different levels, and this is where the Prima Tour is perfect for those people.

“It requires lower levels of licencing, vehiclemodifications and lower entry costs, so we werehoping for somewhere between 50 and 75 entries. We’ve already hit 100 entries, and had to cut it off.

“In the future, we’re hoping it might grow inboth entry numbers and days.”

In all, performance and display vehicles witha combined value stretching well beyond $50 million will be part of this year’s Adelaide Motorsport Festival.

The Ferrari formula one car to be driven byJohansson is worth millions itself, while an

iconic Lancia Factory Group B rally car is considered priceless.

The festival is divided into three core events— the new, entry-level Prima Tour (November 17), the Classic Adelaide Rally (November 17-19) and the Victoria Park Sprint (November 19-20). A traditional Gouger Street party on the evening of November 18 is scheduled to include a parade of four Formula 1 cars through the city from Victoria Park.

Last year the parade — which was to include the famous 1985 John Player Special Lotus driven to pole by Ayrton Senna at Adelaide’s inaugural Grand Prix — was cancelled when heavy rain swept over the city.

The Classic Adelaide Rally start list boasts150 cars with a combined estimated worth of $10 million.

The field involves 300 drivers and co-driversfrom across the country and beyond.

The Victoria Park Sprint, on the purpose-built section of the current Clipsal 500 circuit, will include as many as 350 cars involved in on-track, display and demonstration events both days.

MINISTER’S WELCOME

Adelaide taking off the brakes

Welcome totheAdelaideMotorsportFestival, afour-day

event which celebrates South Australia’s rich motorsport history.

South Australia hosts some ofthe best motorsport events in the country. Each year we celebrate the historic Bay to Birdwood, the Clipsal 500 Adelaide and the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge.

The Adelaide Motorsport Festival builds on South Australia’s reputation as the place to be for motorsport.

This year, the traditional Gouger Street Party returns on Friday night and I encourage everyone attending to get up close to some of the world’s most exotic competition cars. More than 200 vehicles will be on display.

Adelaide’s Victoria Park willhost two days of on-track competition which will use a section of the Clipsal 500 Adelaide track. The Victoria Park Sprint will feature Formula 1 cars paired with the drivers who guided them around the Adelaide tarmac 31 years ago: Sweden’s Stefan Johansson and Italians Pierluigi Martini and Ivan Capelli.

South Australia’s stunning Adelaide Hills and Fleurieu Peninsula will be on show across three days in the Classic Adelaide Rally, featuring the highly-anticipated new Aston Martin DB11.

The McLaren 570GT – to bedriven by 2016 SA’s own Clipsal 500 Adelaide winner Nick Percat – will take part in the Marque Tour section of the rally.

The Adelaide Motorsport Festival is a fantastic opportunity for visitors to experience and explore all Adelaide and South Australia have to offer. From our unspoilt beaches, stunning regions, as well as our laneway bars and restaurants featuring our premium food and wine – there is something for everyone to enjoy.

For those competing, I wish you the best of luck for a safe and successful event.

I trust you will enjoy your timeat the event and in South Australia.

LEON BIGNALLTOURISM MINISTER

THE Adelaide Motorsport Festival is designed as a “museum on wheels”, but the Adelaide BMW M-Zone will offer spectators a rare chance at a hands-on experience.

Next month’s festival is a three-part celebration of motoring events, tying in an inaugural Prima Tour to the popular Classic Adelaide Rally and Victoria Park Sprint in the parklands.

Adding to the on-track action and feast ofdisplay vehicles, Adelaide BMW will offer event-goers the chance to ride along with professional drivers to experience the full blend of power, precision and luxury of its range.

Drivers will include Adelaide-based

Supercars development series pilot Josh Kean and Supercars multiple race winner Tim Slade.

“Bob Jane has been good enough to give ussome tyres – so we’ll use them up,” Kean says.

“We’ll get some customers and general public to jump in the passenger seat, then go out and do a couple of laps of the course with some pretty spirited driving.

“We want to show people what these cars can do – and it’s a hell of a lot.

“It’s to demonstrate how good these cars areat being a car you can drive every day as well as a car that is insanely good on the track as well.”

The vehicles – likely to be a BMW M5 andeither an M3 or M4 – will be standard showroom models, except for the possible addition of a performance exhaust.

SCOTT WALSH

PULSATING: Professional driver Josh Kean, right, will take members of the public on adrenaline-fuelled laps.

Strap yourself in for a wild BMW ride

Kean, who willalso pilot a Benetton Formula 1 driven by Gerhard Berger at the 1986 Adelaide Grand Prix, said those lucky enough to secure a ride could expect an adrenaline rush.

“We do a lot of ride days and I think everyone who gets in a car is pretty surprised at what we can do and how we do it,” he says.

“We’ll be picking people out of the crowd, sothe advice is to don’t be shy, get over there and get excited.”

The Adelaide BMW M-Zone will be positioned on Wakefield Rd, between the Victoria Park Sprint circuit and the Britannia roundabout.

CLASSIC RALLY

Group B Rally cars from the 1980s. These are taking part within the main competition but are not timed through the stages and are not eligible for trophies.

Competition cars are given a base time for each stage. For every second above that time, a penalty is applied.

The entry with the smallest time penalty after the 20 designated special stages is crowned the winner.

Drivers have a navigator, who will read pacenotes through an intercom system, highlighting upcoming stage features including corners, crests and obstacles such as speed restriction zones.

Non-competition includes The Marque Tour, which is reserved for manufacturer- supplied vehicles, which is then followed by the main Tour groups. Tour cars can be identified by their numbers, ranging from 10 to 100.

The field runs in the following order: Tour;TSD Trophy, Thoroughbred & GT Sports Trophy and competition.

The main competition cars are all pre-1986contesting an outright and handicapped trophy.

Cars enter each stage at 30-second intervals.There are high safety requirements and

licencing of the crew for these cars. They are fully prepared rally competition vehicles.

It is here that you will also see some special

Peninsula before returning for an annual Gouger St Party. The inaugural twilight additions on November 19 – which are likely to decide overall rally placings – is reminiscent of the Targa night stage that drew crowds pushing 20,000 at the Adelaide Showgrounds in 2012 and 2013.

The city climax, to involve as many as 150 competing cars, immediately follows a day of Adelaide Hills rallying. In all, rally action will run across three days with 20 special stages plus the opening prologue. The field will be diverse in various levels of competition.

For clarity, the rally is best divided into twoparts – competition and non-competition.

The city climax, to involve as many as 150 competing cars, immediately follows a day of Adelaide Hills rallying. In all, rally action will run across three days with 20 special stages plus the opening prologue. The field will be diverse in various levels of competition.

For clarity, the rally is best divided into twoparts – competition and non-competition.

Take a journey down memory lane

Not just for the rich and famousPURSUING a motorsport passion can be as easy as an advertisement on a classifieds website.

Being a major shareholder in a bank is notnecessary to chase those dreams either, just a positive attitude and a desire to get some grease under the fingernails.

Adelaide Hills motoring enthusiast Mark Sanford had long wanted a Porsche 911, a natural progression from his first car, a Beetle, considering they both come from the same roots for Ferdinand and Ferry Porsche designs.

He placed an ad on Gumtree seeking a project car and the response was just what he hoped, a 1972 Porsche 911 which had gathered dust in a shed for 15 years and needed plenty of work to get it roadworthy.

For $15,000, he became the owner of the 911which had been modified for competition racing with a larger 2.7 motor, Webers, rsr brakes and suspension.

“It is a UK car and it had been forward dated to look like a 930 Turbo in the late 70s, and it had been fitted with all of the factory upgrades specific to a rsr,” Sanford said. “So I have returned it back to its era, but kept it as a wide body.”

Last year, Sanford bumped into Adelaide Motorsport Festival organiser Tim Possingham and was encouraged to enter the Classic Adelaide Rally.

The car was not ready for the event, but Sanford’s enthusiasm to be involved this year swelled after watching a couple of sections of the rally as well as the Supersprints at Victoria Park.

The rally appealed to Sanford because he could drive his Porsche in the area he was raised in a controlled environment, the roads closed to the public. He can drive on both sides

of the roads in a spirited manner with all the support and safety controls along the same route as the competitive racers. There is no need for a roll cage and he notes he could drive his daughter’s mini if he so desired.

“A lot of people think that being involved inmotorsports has to cost a lot of money and you have to be extremely wealthy,” Sanford said. “Although that is quite often the case at the high end of competition, it doesn’t need to be for you to have fun.

“I do all the work on my car because I enjoy

it and there are many people that earn far less than me competing in various types of motorsports all the time.

They even race Hyundai Excels at Mallala.There are many clubs you can be involved in that enable you to compete with others or just drive your car and compete against yourself on racetracks and Hill climbs and off of the public roads.

“My co-driver John Hunter and myself arereally looking forward to this year’s rally and if you get a chance come along and have a look.”

CLIPSAL 500 champion NickPercat says it will be nothing likehis day job but can’t wait to testthe mettle of the inimitableMcLaren 570 GT through the

Adelaide Hills during the Adelaide Motorsport Festival.

Percat, 28, will be in exalted company whenit comes to driving some of the world’s best cars during an exhibition division of the Classic Adelaide Rally and says it will be a stark change from driving a Commodore in the V8 Supercar series.

He will cherish the drive and predicted hewould not be able to resist the temptation to put his foot down.

“It’ll be pretty cool to drive a car like that through the Adelaide Hills in the Classic Adelaide,” Percat said. “I can’t wait to come over for it, spend the weekend and represent McLaren and enjoy it all.

“It’s a road car, so it’s nothing like drivingon the racetrack.

“There’s a lot of power in it and it handlesreally well for a road car but it’s nothing like the Supercars that I drive around Clipsal.

“It’s got air conditioning, cruise control, nice suspension and leather seats ... it’s all very luxurious.

“But I’m sure I’ll give it a little bit of a squirtevery now and again. I’ve been lucky enough to drive these cars a fair bit over the past 12

months so I’m pretty familiar with them.“I look forward to driving one through the

hills.”Percat will be joined by racing royalty such

as former Italian F1 driver Ivan Capelli, who will drive a Lamborghini Huracan; former SA F1 driver and Le Mans winner Vern Schuppan, who will race in an Aston Martin DB 11; and former Italian F1 driver and fellow Le Mans winner Pierluigi Martini, who will take the wheel of a BMW M4 GTS.

Percat will love listening to their stories andalso their feats in multiple forms of car racing.

For now, Percat is entrenched in V8

Supercars, but he has not ruled out trying his hand at different formats of racing in years to come.

“It’ll be really cool to be up close to the realsupercars of the world,” Percat said. “It’ll be good to hear everybody’s stories, too.

“What they’ve been doing, what they’ve driven and the different experiences they’ve had. “It’s good to hear about how others have done it and how they go about it from day to day.

“I’m only 28 so I’ve got a long time ahead ofme (in V8 Supercars). The Supercar championship at the moment is the most

competitive championship in the world. Our group makes IndyCar look pretty lean in competitiveness.

“But I’m pretty keen to go over to Americafor some endurance style racing. One of my team-mates is doing it and we’ve got a connection there with Corvette and GM.

“But at the moment I’m doing my thing here. But it’s not like an AFL player dabbling in cricket. If you’re a good racing car driver you can get employed to drive all different types of cars with different power and different configurations and different tracks around the world. We’re very lucky in that regard.”

Not your average CorollaSCOTT WALSH

OSCAR Matthews is aiming to win the Classic Adelaide Rally in the 32-year-old Corolla that was, until recently, his “daily driver”.

“I like the underdog factor of the Corolla,”Matthews says.

“It’s not a common car you hear of in thetarmac rally world. They’re reasonably big in European racing, but not so much here.

“This car was originally my daily driver. But it spiralled out of control as I got more into entering different hillclimbs.

“Eventually I got to the stage where I decided I’d pull it off the road, put a rollcage init and try to get into some serious motorsport.”

That leap to serious motorsport takes another step for Matthews this month when he begins his second Classic Adelaide Rally.

The Stirling driver entered his first tarmacrally last year in the Adelaide event’s return from a six-year hiatus.

Despite suffering multiple axle blowouts and stripping gears on the opening day last year through the start-line power of his two-litre Corolla, Matthews rebounded on the second day with stage times that challenged veteran drivers including Craig Haysman and 2015 winner Adam Kaplan.

“The mechanical issues were a combination of the fact that the parts are now 30 years old so they’ve seen a lot of kilometres, and the amount of stress they were put through,” Matthews says.

“I’ve addressed that so, fingers crossed, itwon’t be an issue this time.”

This year’s Classic Adelaide Rally will again involve open-road tours and closed

competitive sections from Mount Lofty and Norton Summit in the Adelaide Hills to Paris Creek on the Fleurieu Peninsula as well as two inaugural city twilight stages to decide the event.

Day one, on November 18, will take driversthrough Corkscrew Gully, Chain of Ponds

and Nairne. Day two, on November 19, includes Mount Lofty and The Gorge before the City of Adelaide Twilight Stages at Victoria Park to decide the 2016 winner.

Tickets to the city twilight stages open at$10. Entry is included for patrons with tickets to Saturday’s Victoria Park Sprint.

JOIN THE LEAGUE OF PERFORMANCE.

November 19 and 20, is a high-octane revival of some of the most famous and recognisable cars in international motorsport history.

In all, more than 200 cars will be on trackin as many as 17 categories in the sprint-format event.

As well as international icons, Australianclassics and touring cars will also feature strongly.

Two Peter Brock cars, including the 2004Holden Racing Team Commodore that was the King of the Mountain’s final drive at Bathurst before his 2006 death, lead the highly anticipated home-grown stars.

A Grand Prix Revival is expected to be among the most popular attractions.

In a rare pairing, the sister Formula 1 Ferraris of Alboreto and Johansson from the 1985 season will be joined by the Beatrice Lola Hart that became the first car to five on the

Adelaide Grand Prix Circuit in 1985, by Australian champion Jones.

Also included is the 1989 Minardi of Pier Luigi Martini, the Leyton House March of Ivan Capelli from the same year and a 1994 Ferrari of Berger that finished second in the second-last Adelaide Grand Prix.

The Grand Prix Revival is just one categorythat will circulate as part of the Victoria Park Sprint on a stretch of Wakefield Rd and the parklands section that formed the original Formula 1 circuit and is now used for the Clipsal 500.

Victoria Park will become a haven for classic cars, as a museum in motion featuring a diverse collection of historic touring cars, sports cars and classic motorcycles.

A Heritage Touring Cars category includesformer Commodores, Falcons and Toranas, as well as overseas attractions such as BMWs,

Jaguars and Nissans. A Porsche sprint boasts an array of 911s as well as a 2016 GT3 RS.

A Ferrari class adds to the exotic flavour, and includes as many as 14 of the famed stallions. A Mitsubishi Evo/Subaru WRX Challenge and Nismo categories will also feature.

On the historical side, gems such as a 1934MG Supercharged Racer and a 1938 Hartwig Fargo Special will be part of the festival.

For the first time, the Classic Adelaide Rally will be decided in a twin set of City of Adelaide Twilight stages on the parklands’ circuit after the opening day of Victoria Park Sprint competition, before presentations.

In all, about 500 vehicles are expected to beon display across the weekend.

A variety of food trucks as well as other gourmet food options will be available for patrons.

SEVEN stars of the Adelaide Grand Prix who helped make the city come alive will revisit the famous circuit during the Victoria Park Sprint for this year’s Adelaide Motorsport Festival.

Three Formula 1 cars from the maiden 1985Australian Grand Prix — including a matching pair of No. 27 and 28 Ferraris — will headline a glittering line-up of legends returning to Adelaide’s streets this month.

Cars driven by Alan Jones, Stefan Johansson, Gerhard Berger and Michele Alboreto during the state’s Grand Prix era of 1985 to 1995 are among a field that also boasts a 1986 Benetton recognised as the most powerful Formula 1 car ever built and raced.

Back to show why they were kings of the roadS

TEFAN Johansson’s drive in the 1985Adelaide Grand Prix won him astreet sign.

So too, Ivan Capelli.In Wingfield, in the warehouse

and industrial district just north of Grand Junction Rd, sits a collection of signpost tributes to the trailblazers of Adelaide’s momentous inaugural Grand Prix.

The pair are immortalised in Adelaide’s north among the likes of maiden pole-sitter Ayrton Senna, first race winner Keke Rosberg and fellow point-earners Jacques Laffite, Philippe Streiff and Gerhard Berger.

This month, Johansson will return to Adelaide for a reunion with the No. 28 Ferrari F156 he drove to fifth place in the 1985 Grand Prix that earnt him that street sign, as part of the Adelaide Motorsport Festival.

Thirty-one years ago, the Swede arrived inAdelaide within reach of a top-five finish on the drivers championship in his first season with Ferrari.

Having been called up to the famous Italianmanufacturer after the opening round in Brazil, Johansson scored back-to-back seconds early in the season including an impressive

team one-two with stablemate Michele Alboreto in Canada.

But the weekend in Australia started poorlyfor Johansson. He qualified just 15th of the 25 starters, well behind Alboreto (fifth) but on the same row of the grid as retiring legend Niki Lauda.

In a race of high attrition, run in 35C heat,only eight cars met the chequered flag. Just three were on the lead lap.

Despite finishing a lap down on Rosberg, Johansson’s drive was enough to secure fifth place and two championship points.

And that street sign.All six placegetters in Adelaide’s Formula 1

debut — as well as Senna for his pole position — were honoured by the city with street names in Wingfield.

Still today, there is Rosberg Rd. Branchingoff it, Berger Rd, Lafitte Rd, Streiff Rd and Johansson Rd. Senna Rd comes off South Rd.

There is also tribute to seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher.

At the Victoria Park Sprint, on November 19and 20, Johansson will drive the very Ferrari

powered Minardi after qualifying third for the often maligned car.

Martini, another guest of the Adelaide Motorsport Festival, will also reunite in Adelaide with his 1989 vehicle.

The 1989 race remains one of the most memorable Adelaide Grands Prix in the event’s 11-year history.

Drivers arrived in South Australia for the season finale following the controversial events at the Japanese Grand Prix two weeks earlier, when McLaren team-mates Alain Prost and Senna collided in a battle for the lead and the championship.

Adelaide’s torrential rain led to several drivers including Prost and Berger to push for the race’s cancellation.

An accident between backmarkers at the chicane on the opening lap sparked a stoppage, and drivers again argued safety concerns including the near zero visibility meant it should not restart.

Officials disagreed, and Thierry Boutsen won a rain-soaked race that only eight cars finished.

he piloted inthe 1985 GrandPrix as part ofa “stars andtheir cars”category.

Simply breathtakingI

N 1999, Pierluigi Martini waspart of a winning BMW team atthe renowned Le Mans 24-hourendurance race.

This weekend, the Italianjourneyman will reunite with BMW in the Classic Adelaide Rally, where he will drive the brand’s benchmark BMW M4 GTS.

With a pricetag of about $300,000, the M4 GTS channels the spirit of the legendary BMW E46 M3 CSL and BMW believes the car will reach a similar iconic status.

“The BMW M4 GTS is a sports carradically designed for superior dynamics and breathtaking performance on the racetrack,” said Frank van Meel, chief executive officer of BMW M GmbH.

“This is our way of demonstrating what ispossible with a road-legal vehicle today.”

Just 700 M4 GTS vehicles will be made, and only 25 sold to Australian customers.

The M4 GTS is priced from $295,000 andfeatures BMW M’s latest thinking in lightweight construction and racetrack engineering, while simultaneously increasing power output.

BMW M has further honed the remarkable3.0-litre, twin-turbocharged straight-six found in the M3 and M4 via the addition of a water injection system.

A world first for a productioncar, the M4 GTS draws from a five-litre water tank (mounted in the luggage compartment floor) to spray water mist into the engine’s air intake collector.

Capable of reducing combustion chambertemperatures by around 25 degrees Celsius, the water injection system allows more efficient combustion, enabling higher charging pressure (from 2.2 to 2.5 bar) and an earlier ignition point.

The car, which will also be on show at the

Adelaide BMW stand at the Adelaide Motorsport Festival, has a top speed of 305km/h and can accelerate from 0-100km/h in 3.8 seconds.

A track-ready aerodynamics package includes adjustable carbon-fibre rear wing and two-setting carbon-fibre front splitter.

Weighing only 1510kg, the BMW M4 GTS

is 30kg lighter than aregular BMW M4, fitted with the seven-speed M double clutch transmission.

Adelaide BMW will continue to celebrate100 Years of BMW at the Adelaide Motorsport Festival with a display of historic and current BMWs from throughout the years.

The limited edition BMW M4GTS will drive in the Adelaide Classic Rally and display at the festival.



CAR LOVERS will enjoy a funkytrip down memory lane at theAdelaide Motorsport Festival’sClassic Adelaide Street Party onNovember 18.

Chunky Custard - who entertained crowds during the Adelaide Grand Prix era - will bring the retro tunes to Gouger St as the festival embraces its rich motoring heritage for the much-anticipated event, which is expected to attract more than 10,000 people.

Co-founder of the band Ian Blake, aka Alvin Nosedust, said the group can’t wait to recreate the amazing atmosphere generated by the old Formula One event, which was held in Adelaide from 1985 to 1995.

“We did some Grand Prix Balls to packedcrowds at the Convention Centre, gigs on

Get funky with ChunkyANTIMO IANNELLA the actual track and on Hutt Street when the

Grand Prix was in Adelaide. “Those times were amazing; crowds

would pack the streets and we’d have thousands of people with their hands in the air at the same time,” he said.

“We are so excited to re-create the electric vibe of those times; it’s not often we get to do a street party these days and we are going to show Adelaide how to do it best.”

Lead singer Becky Blake, aka Miss CandyBar, added: “I was a grid girl for Peter Jackson/Marlborough for the Formula 1 cars in Adelaide.

“I got to know Ayrton Senna quite well and he signed my jacket. These classic cars are so stylish and I can’t wait.”

The street party isn’t just for the older crew; there will also be plenty of fun for children, with roving entertainment, arcade games, slot car racing and remote control car

racing activities. But for motoring enthusiasts, the focus will be on the $20 million dollars’ worth of cars which will be on display in the street, including four Formula One cars which will bring the city to a standstill - literally.

The cars will receive a “green light” policeescort from Victoria Park at 5.30pm, travelling down Wakefield St and Grote St, turning left into Morphett St and then into Gouger St, arriving at the party at about 5.37pm.

“They will be front and centre at the party, in the middle of the street, and we will fire up one of the Formula cars on the night as well: the Ferrari 412 T1 that Gerhard Berger drove in Adelaide in 1994,” event spokesman Tim Possingham said.

The Formula One cars will be in good company, with four historic touring cars - including the 1977 Torana Peter Brock drove

at Bathurst - joining them at the event, along with a mammoth 150 Classic Adelaide Rally cars.

“People will get to see some brand new,just released exotic cars from manufacturers as well as cars that are taking part in the competitive side of the rally, most of them being pre-1985 historic rally cars,” Mr Possingham said.

Keeping the theme will be the appearanceon stage of three retired Formula One drivers: Stefan Johansson, Pierluigi Martini and Ivan Capelli.

Mr Possingham said it’s the perfect wayto start the Adelaide Motorsport Festival weekend.

“It’s almost like a celebration of the weekend’s event. It’s free, it’s got a family friendly atmosphere, and it celebrates nostalgic motorsport and Adelaide’s history with the Formula One,” he said.

Every window, except the windshield, wasmade of plastic and the interior of the car had no radio, carpet or door panels.

Also missing was power steering and to open the doors from the inside a pull-cord had to be used.

The finished product was a supercar aheadof its time, capable of reaching speeds faster than 350km/h.

But if watching the GTE spinning its wheels isn’t enough for you, you’re in luck.

More than 50 other Ferraris will take part

in on-track activities in the Classic Adelaide Rally — which runs from November 17-19 — and Victoria Park Sprint (19-20).

And red-blooded Ferrari fans can get evencloser to their favourite machines with plenty more on display throughout the festival.

The rare Italian StallionO

NE of the world’s rarestFerrari’s will hit the track at theAdelaide Motorsport Festivalin a mystical-like appearanceon Sunday, November 20.

The Ferrari F40GTE — which comes witha pracetag of more than $5m (and that’s if you can find someone to sell theirs) — is just one of eight ever produced by the Italian carmaker.

Of the 1311 F40s built between 1987 and 1992, only eight GTEs and 11 LeMans editions were commissioned exclusively for Ferrari’s most favoured clients.

One of those F40GTEs will make its way toSouth Australia to lead some of its younger brothers and sisters in the Ferrari Spettacolo (special), zipping around the Adelaide parklands in a golden outing that Prancing Horse enthusiasts will likely never see again.

Local V8 Supercars driver Josh Kean willget the chance to drive the privately owned car just after midday at the Victoria Park Sprint.

He will be joined by 1980s Formula One star Stefan Johansson driving a new Ferrari 488 Spider, Ferrari Australia CEO Herbert Appleroth in a 488GTB and fellow V8 Supercars driver Tim Slade in a rare 599 FXX (one of 30 ever made).

A step up from the original F40, the GTEedition debuted at the 1987 Frankfurt Auto Show to celebrate Ferrari’s 40th birthday.

The 2.9L twin turbo V8 was super-tuned toproduce between 860hp-900hp and the body of the car was stripped to make it lighter and even faster.


TWO of the late Peter Brock’s most significant cars will race at this year’s Adelaide Motorsport Festival to stir the emotions of fans of the former great.

The festival will showcase the Brock cars ina police-escorted drive to the Gouger St Party on Friday, November 18, as South Australia prepares for a weekend of motorsport highlights.

The cars will then compete in touring carcategories of the Classic Adelaide Rally.

Memories will come flooding back as Brock’s last V8 car – the Commodore entered into the 2004 Sandown by Brock and Jason Plato – will be showcased after making its way

from the Warrnambool Motor Museum.Owner Dean Montgomery and museum

manager Troy Kelly have made sure the car is the same to the most intricate detail and brings it across a racing fans mourn the 10th anniversary of Brock’s death in a Targa West race in September, 2006.

The 2004 car was involved in a crash in therace at Mount Panorama involving john Cleland in a Falcon and robbed fans of the chance of seeing Brock in his last outing at Bathurst, but still holds dear memories as it was the last famous with the 05 on the door.

It was last raced by Tony D’Alberto in the2006 Fujitsu V8 Supercars series, in which D’Alberto finished sixth, but has since been rested and has never raced again.

D’Alberto was chuffed with the result whenhe spoke about Centaur’ Racing’s efforts to bring the car back to its former glory back in 2010.

“The car looks amazing,” he said. “It’s amazing how an old design can be so striking.”

The restoration to again becoming the 2004 Brock car means it is again being shown around Australia at shows and being taken out on the road when not resting in the Warrnambool Motor Museum.

Kelly said he and Montgomery had been tireless in making sure every bolt on the car made it look like it did for Brock in his last V8 Supercars outing — and said with a laugh that

punters would be quick to point out if there was a flaw in the design.

“The fans have long memories and a verygood eye for detail,” Kelly said. “They’d let us know if there was something that was not quite right.”

The other Brock car on show during the festival is a 1977 Torana used by Brock when racing for HDT for the first time at Sandown in a support race for F5000 cars. Brock put the car on pole and won both races.

The 2004 Brock-Plato car will race in thefive-litre touring car categtory. The 1977 Torana will be in the heritage touring car category.

Memories of Peter the Great

The 2004 Commodore, top, and 1978 Torana both driven by the late Peter Brock.

with the Benetton driven by Gerhard Berger the following year. The Benetton was retired after two pole positions, three fastest laps and Gerhard Berger’s win in the 1986 Mexican Grand Prix.

Then there is the Ferrari driven by Bergerin 1995. It has a reputation for being arguably the most spectacular F1 car with its incredible

sound and is being imported from New Zealand for the festival.

The oldest car in the parade will be the 1978Holden Torana, made famous as a former car of legend Peter Brock. The Commodore which Brock drove in his final Bathurst appearance in 2004 will also be on show, as will the 1998 Commodore raced by Larry Perkins.

Familiar F1 roar returns WARREN PARTLAND

The roar of Formula One cars is toreturn to Adelaide’s city streetsthis month – and it won’t just be inVictoria Park.

Four of the most prized formulaone machines which contested the Australian Grand Prix up to 30 years ago will parade through the streets of the city from Victoria Park to the festival’s Gouger St party on Friday, November 18.

In a massive coup for the event, organiserswill have three Ferraris and a Benetton, as well as numerous famous touring cars, in the parade from Victoria Park to the street party in Gouger St. The cars, under police escort andwith green lights all the way, will be driven via Wakefield Rd, Wakefield St, Grote St, Morphett Rd and left into Gouger St.

“It is going to be an impressive parade,” Motorsport Festival spokesman Tim Possingham said.

“We tried to have the parade last year butthere was a heavy downpour and that prevented us from running the cars through the city.

“But the buzz on social media was incredible and people were lining the roads waiting for the cars. Unfortunately we had to cancel the parade.

“But this year’s parade will be a perfect wayto start off a fabulous weekend of nostalgic motorsport which will centre around Victoria Park.

“The Classic Adelaide Rally gets underwayon that day but the parade is viewed as the entree leading into the smorgasbord of motoring offerings for the weekend.”

The Adelaide Grand Prix became a roundof the world championship in 1985 before being moved to Melbourne in 1996.

The Ferrari driven by Sweden’s Stefan Johansson into fifth spot in the 1985 and its sister car driven by Michele Alboreto in the same race will be a feature of the parade, along

Adelaide race car driver Josh Kean with the 1986 Benetton he will drive through the streets of Adelaide at this year's Adelaide Motorsport Festival. Picture TRICIA WATKINSON

The ex-Larry Perkins Castrol Commodore drives through the Southern Hairpin as partof the 5 Litre Touring Car field last year.

2016 will be even betterT

HOUSANDS of people flockedto last year’s Adelaide MotorSport Festival, promptingofficials to shoot for an evenbigger and better event this

year.Event organiser Tim Possingham said

last year’s success also resulted in increased support from the South Australian Tourism Commission – which has directly resulted in further expansion of the event.

Most obviously, there is an increased number of closed-road stages in the Classic Adelaide Rally and a new City of Adelaide Twilight Rally Stage as the rally finale

There is also the new Prima Tour, whichhas attracted capacity field of 100 cars for the event on Thursday, November 17.

Possingham said there would be double

the number of manufacturers at this year’s the event. “Many manufacturers view this as a unique opportunity to activate at an event where they can demonstrate cars in action, deliver corporate hospitality, engage with prospective customers while also involving existing customers in driving activities,” Possingham said.

“In Adelaide we are blessed to have suchclose proximity to a race track, the city and airport as well as amazing touring roads in the hills.

“This is something that cannot be replicated anywhere else in Australia so manufacturers and the motoring press are now viewing the Adelaide Motorsport Festival in a similar light as the famous Goodwood Festival of Speed although in its infancy.”

Patrons are able to literally touch some of the cars like this child found at last year’s festival.

MOTOR SPORT IS DANGEROUS

AThe Adelaide Motorsport Festival – a two-day celebration of South Australia’s richmotor racing heritage – isn’t just aboutclassic marques and famous drivers, it’salso about flavour and fun off-track.

The classic Adelaide Parklands motorsport event, held November 19-20, brings together a smorgasbord of SA’s food and wine icons under one roof at the Source SA Refuel Zone.

Adelaide Hills kitchen and bar Miss Perez will be plating up paella featuring Goolwa cockles, Coffin Bay oysters (with a bottle of bubbles!), Udder Delights cheese plates and Hahndorf sausages. There are also vegetarian and gluten-free options available.

“You don’t have to be a car fan to enjoy the amazingfood and local produce and the beverage options that are available,” says event organiser Tim Possingham. “We’ll also be serving boutique Adelaide Hills Italian varietal wines by Unico Zelo; boutique Adelaide Hills distiller Applewood Gin will be creating cocktails; Tim Knappstein, who is a massive car fan, will be there with Riposte Wines; Bird in Hand wines will be on offer, and SA’s favourite beers, Coopers, will be available.”

The Refuel Zone, sited in front of the heritage grandstand in Victoria Park, offers seating for 1500 patrons with views of the track and the track access lane where you can almost touch the cars as they slowly pass.

The Refuel Zone demonstrates what the Adelaide Motorsport Festival is all about, says Possingham. “The Zone connects food and cars. It has an automotive theme running through that area, such as our showpiece 1930s petrol bowser, which will be serving lemonade.”

Pick of the themed areas within the Refuel Zone is the picnic ground. “Purchase a hamper,” says Possingham, “then head to the area where rugs are laid out and have your own picnic, perhaps with a bottle of Bird in Hand sparkling.”

Looking for Iberian flavours and flair? The Refuel Zone’s Spanish area will be piling plates high with paella and teaming it with sangria by Riverland grower Caudo Vineyards.

Possingham notes that cars are a great connector among Adelaide’s foodie community. “The Adelaide Motorsport Festival rallies are primarily run through the Adelaide Hills,” he says, “In fact, they go through areas that some of these food and wine producers operate in. For example, on the Friday of the Classic Adelaide Rally features a lunch stop at Bird in Hand winery and we’ll pass vineyards where Unico Zelo grapes are grown.

And the people behind Unico Zelo, Riposte wines, Caudo Vineyards and cheesemaker Udder Delights all have a keen interest in cars – some are even entered in the rally – so they have a real commitment to the event.

So when it’s time to refuel head to the SourceSA Refuel Zone.

REVERED South Australian winemaker Tim Knappstein is the first to admit that wine, racing and rally driving do not mix.

It hasn’t stopped the keen rally driver finding a way to blend his loves of motorsport and the highly respectedwine he makes in the Adelaide Hills.

They are a match, he says, with large portions of the rallies in this month’s Adelaide Motorsport Festival, running through the hills “via some of the most beautiful scenery, along some of the most terrific roads around”.

“Sadly, we don’t drink for a week before an event, and on race and rally days it’s a quick bite every night and

Winemaker blends vines with a love of carsDIANNE MATTSSON early to bed,” says the track enthusiast

who was born into the wine family of the same name, established in SA since 1894.

He now works with his fourth-generation son, Nick, and wife Dale, producing the Riposte cool-climate label, based in the Adelaide Hills. Under contract at Wicks Estate near Woodside, their boutique label produces hills specialty sauvignon blanc, as well as riesling, chardonnay, pinot gris, pinot noir and shiraz.

“I am the Riposte winemaker, Nickis in charge of sales and marketing, and Dale runs the pair of us,” he laughs about his wine family who are all keen on cars.

Until this year, Tim and Dale were

a rally team, winning their category in 2015.

“I have always loved cars, am verycompetitive and love going fast,” he says, happily following the sport with his wife “the navigator, who says it’s the only time I do everything she tells me”.

The pair retired ahead of the 2016season, but are still involved at demonstration level.

Nick will be racing in the sprint atVictoria Park during the Adelaide Motorsport Festival from November 17-20.

It’s at Victoria Park where their redand white Riposte table wines will feature, teamed with food from Adelaide Hills restaurant Miss Perez,

in the Refuel by The SourceSA food and wine zone, as well as in the Aston Martin VIP area.

“I’m really happy to have Riposteassociated with this event. It could become something quite big for this state,” he says believing it could eventually vie with key international meets.

“There are some terrific motorsportfestivals in the UK where people dress up in period costumes and come out to see great old cars in action.”

The SA festival could grow in the same way, already attracting large numbers of visitors “who by all reports spend quite a bit of money while they are in the state, and that’s good for all of us”. Tim and Dale Knappstein.

SO this is what it’s like to be thehottest girl in the room.

To spend a day as JenniferHawkins, or Megan Gale, orwhichever 11-out-of-10 glamour you

can think of.To have everyone looking, staring,

marvelling at your impossible perfection.Because pure beauty, it’s a magnetic thing.

Difficult to ignore and, once seen, harder to turn away from.

From Goolwa to Gouger St, it was all eyeson us. There’s no modest way to tell this yarn without bragging – so here it is.

The Sunday Mail was invited to sit in thepassenger seat of the newly released Ferrari 488 GTB for the opening day of the Classic Adelaide Rally on the Fleurieu Peninsula. Not just to ride along, but to navigate for Ferrari Australasia’s chief executive Herb Appleroth for the first seven stages of the event, from Norton Summit to Myponga and back to the city.

The car had landed in Australia from Italya little over a week earlier, arrived in Adelaide for its first on-road appearance a few days later and I was on board for its debut run under performance conditions.

We were not in the rally proper but the demonstration division, which meant our stage runs were not timed or recorded.

Officially, our top speed was capped at 130km/h. Yet those stipulations didn’t restrict the closed-road capabilities of a car worth more than the average Adelaide home.

And at $500,000 you’re getting a vehiclethat can do more than simply start, go and stop. This is a beast that goes from zero to 100km/h in three seconds flat. Zero to 200km/h in 8.3s. Just as impressive, the massive brakes

Car Club’s sporting attitudeDOUG ROBERTSON

THE Sporting Car Club of SA is the largest and one of the oldest motor car clubs in Australia and is responsible for the Adelaide Motorsport Festival.

Founded in Adelaide in 1934, its 1700 car-fanatic members thrive on motorsport and the club organises the majority of motor racing events in South Australia, including the four-round Master of Mallala series, the All Historic National Race meeting and numerous hill climbs.

The club was also the driving force behind last year’s revival of the world-renowned Classic Adelaide Rally as part of the Adelaide Motorsport Festival. The Adelaide Classic tarmac rally previously ran from 1996-2009.

Sporting Car Club of SA president PeterWhelan said the clubrooms, based in a magnificent building off King William Rd, at Unley, had a vast source of specialist knowledge for those interested in preserving and restoring historic motor vehicles.

“Our collection of motorsport and motoring information in our magnificent Eric Rainsford Library, is one of the largest in the southern hemisphere,’’ he said. “The Library offers members workshop manuals, spare parts lists, current motoring journals and motoring books.’’

There are also more than 7000 videos,including workshop manuals, spare parts lists and motoring journals which are available for loan to members.

But the heartbeat of the Sporting Car Club is the members’ events and social meets, such as hillclimbs, runs and rallies, including the popular Sunseeker Rally and Fleurieu May Day Run.

“The John Blanden Climb to the Eagle,held in Adelaide just before the Australian Grand Prix is still being re-enacted each year and it’s legendary,’’ Whelan said.

“All (events) are organised by club staffwhile the Events Office runs the motorsport events.

“The great feature of our club is that weare interested in all makes, models and ages of cars and our special-interest groups organise a huge range of activities.”

These include the motor racing seriesand touring events throughout the state and the use of the club’s prestigious Hillclimb, at Collingrove, in the Barossa Valley, which was established in 1952.

A host of club members are also approved inspectors who are authorised to certify vehicles under the Conditional Registration scheme.

“Whatever your interest in cars, you willbe welcomed at the Sporting Car Club and provided with great opportunities to use and enjoy your car with like-minded enthusiasts,’’ Whelan said.

TIME TO GET MOTORINGJoining the Sporting Car Club SA is easy and provides car lovers with opportunities to participate in events and special interestactivities.

The club offers various sections to cater for people with interests in competit-ion, touring, veteran or vintage cars and organises literally hundreds of social events for car lovers each year.

Those interested in joining need onlydownload an application form from the membership section of the club’s website or pick up one from the clubrooms, at 51 King William Rd, Unley.

The clubroom’s front office is open from Wednesday to Friday from 9am to 4pm.

“People are welcome to drop in and look over the facilities, talk to members or fill out an application form if they wish,’’ President Peter Whelan said.

“Once an application is received, theywill be invited to be welcomed into the club at a general meeting and then they will be eligible to take part in all club events and activities and be able to simply enjoy themselves and their cars with other motorsport enthusiasts.’’

When the Classic Adelaide Rally returned last year, Sunday Mail motorsport expert Scott Walsh had the best seat in town. He spent a day as a passenger/navigator in a Ferrari 488 GTB. Here is his report.fitted to harness the 670-horsepower twin turbocharged V8 engine can bring the car to a stop from 100km/h in 27m.

We copped the full range of acceleration and deceleration g-forces at play during nine hours of bucket-list bliss.

The highlight, easily, was the addition of virtual chicanes on straight stretches of several stages. Our Rally Safe GPS device

knew when we entered the speed zone, and we had to rapidly decrease from top speed to 60km/h before accelerating with the kind of power that leaves your stomach squashed against your spine

So the car sounded and performed just likeyou’d expect of a Ferrari. And as for the body?

Well, Elle Macpherson might need a newnickname
