FIVE DAYS OF PETROL HEAVEN Wayne & Geraldine Hough
rom the opening in Victoria Square on Wednesday 16 th November 2016 to Sunday evening at the Motorsport Legends Dinner, we experienced what can only be described as“ Rev-Head Heaven”. At midday on Wednesday the sound of a 1980’ s F1 Ferrari again reverberated around the Square. This announced the official opening of the 2016 Adelaide Motorsport Festival, organised by the Sporting Car Club of SA. Three 1980’ s VIP guest F1 drivers – Stefan Johannson, Pierluigi Martini and Ivan Capelli- were reintroduced to Adelaide. Stefan Johannson reacquainted himself with the actual Ferrari that he drove in the Adelaide F1 Grand Prix. The opening ceremony was part of the Media Opportunities that Wayne had received with his media photographer accreditation from the SCCSA for the entire event.

It was an early start on Thursday morning heading down to the start of the Prima Tour at Victoria Park. We were joined by other MGCCSA Members, Arthur and Craig Ruediger, Pat Mullins, Barb and Steve Spong, Stan Ward and all the way from Sydney, our friend and former member, Christopher Hunt.
