January / February 2017
On Sunday night, the weekend was topped off with the Motorsport Legends Dinner at the Top of the Ark in the Arkaba Hotel. We were greeted with champagne, followed by a fabulous 3 course dinner and coffee / tea. Between courses the Master of Ceremonies, Tony Parkinson( Penny Hill Winery and the late Phil Bradey’ s mate), introduced the dignitaries including Tim Possingham from the
SCCSA who was the Director of the AMF and then Tony interviewed the three ex-F1 drivers. It was lovely to hear their fond memories of the Adelaide Grand Prix that ran from 1985 to 1995 here on our city streets. Stefan Johannson talked about being re-united with his car and his specialty range of watches and Ivan Capelli spoke about his commentating role for the current F1 Season on Italian TV.
