Phillip Island Classic - March 12th - 14th 2027

The 38th Phillip Island Classic is a not to be missed, must-see event for any passionate motorsport or motoring enthusiast. Recognised globally and held at the iconic and world-famous Grand Prix Circuit, the Phillip Island Classic event brings together Australia’s greatest collection of historic racing machines, legendary drivers and classic cars; a dynamic and colourful celebration of local and international motorsport history.

The Phillip Island Classic has it all. Immerse yourself both on and off the track. Stroll around the hundreds of classic

and unique cars on display. Talk with proud owners who will be more than ready to share their passion for these special vehicles.

Then find one of many vantage spots and settle down to watch the on-track action.

Racing categories in 2027 will include Historic and Heritage Touring Cars and 5 Litre Touring cars, reliving the intense Holden

and Ford rivalry that kept the Australian public entertained throughout the 60s, 70s and 80s. Thundering V8 Monaros,

Commodores, GT Falcons, Camaros and Mustangs will be taking on the nimble giant-killing BMW M3s and Mini Cooper S. Many of these historically significant cars have previously raced for outright honours at Bathurst!

​​​Classic Sports and Racing Cars will feature legendary marques such as Ferrari, Porsche, Elfin and Lola, whilst a packed field of

Alfa Romeos, Porsches, MGs and Corvettes will be challenged by a sole roaring V8 DeTomaso Pantera.

Open wheel fans will not only be entertained by the variety of sports and racing cars, but also the packed grids of open wheel Formula Fords and Formula Vees, all guaranteed to provide a close racing spectacle. 

 

One ticket grants you full access all weekend long. ​You can access the pits, using the main straight footbridge, or free courtesy bus, encouraging enthusiasts to stroll along the circuit’s active pit area, view these historic machines close up, chat with drivers and mechanics, take photos and absorb the atmosphere, experiences not available anywhere else in Australia, and rarely overseas.

Soak up the atmosphere and take a trip down memory lane as these historic cars are bought to life by dedicated team members, then as they move to the dummy grid, before accelerating hard onto the 4.4 kilometre track for an unforgettable spectacle of wheel-to-wheel speed and sound.

 

And while you are in the pit area, conveniently located behind the team garages discover the event’s Classic Shopping Strip, an opportunity to purchase from an extensive range of memorabilia, including motorsport themed clothing, posters or books, as well as relaxing and selecting from variety of food and drink options.

So, come and join historic motor racing enthusiasts at the 2027 Phillip Island Classic, experience spectacular Bass Coast scenery and revel in high-speed action with friends and family.
