Top Gear heads to Sydney

On the 8^th and 9th^th March, Sydney’s the place to be where Top Gear Festival puts the brakes on all other entertainment. Only 45 minutes drive east of the city, this two day speeder of an event takes place at Motorsport Park.

This is actually ideal because you can stay in an affordable Sydney hotel and in moments, you’re on the M2 gliding you to the M7, direct to the Park.

For a full day with the family (yes, the event loves kids) the cost is only $160. If you’re planning to grab tickets with friends, a day’s worth of oogling over the best cars in the planet is a simple $69.

Remember those catastrophic three wheeler Robin Reliants? You may spot them on the field trying to play huge soccer between country teams. Then there’s the Infiniti Red Bull Racing Formula One along with the Holden State Origin Car Challenge. This is where you can celebrity spot National Rugby League legends from NSW and QLD battling it out with challenges.

If you’re a huge fan of Aryton Senna, then you’re in luck. He’ll be featuring his MP4/4 which was raced in the 1988 Formula One championship.

Obviously it’d not be a Top Gear extravaganza if Jeremy Clarkson wasn’t showing up. He’ll be there! Alongside legends including James May, The Stig, Craig Lowndes and Daniel Ricciardo.

When you think the line-up is extraordinary, also remember that six of the world’s most powerful engines will go head to head for the King of the Track title in the Ultimate Speed Showdown. This includes the TeamF1, TeamSuperbike, TeamV8, TeamGT3, TeamWorldTimeAttack and TeamWRC.

Wheel (pun intended) be expecting you’ll need a relaxing evening, overlooking the Harbour sunset from Cremorne Point when the sun goes down. Get revved up and start your engines!
