Location of Event
You will find the Fiat Club Grounds at Percival Street in Clarendon, next to the Richmond Royal Australian Air Force base. Entry is via a driveway with a small sign saying “Ansell Park, Private Property”. 

About
Nestled off the road and set amongst established deciduous trees there are two flat mown areas for separate driving activities.

The test area is spacious for the six gymkhana tests while there is a separate practise area (“South Park”) where novice drivers can learn and build their classic driving skills in safety.  This is not a speed event.

There are toilets but no other facilities, so bring your own morning tea, picnic lunch, and chairs. Dogs and children are welcome on a lead.

More
The VSCCA, in conjunction with the Alvis Car Club, is putting on another day of driving tests at the FIAT club grounds. The course of between 6 and 8 tests of driving skill is set on a flat mown paddock which is gentle on vehicles and drivers.

Younger people can participate as passengers who will be challenged with their own tests.

People who have never driven a vintage car can get some practice in a separate paddock area, where they can come to terms with vintage steering brakes and gear changes. This was very popular last year. If they feel confident enough they can head out and take the tests.

Lunch will be a “bring your own picnic”

There are BBQ facilities available. Lunch was held under the trees, sitting on running boards, and without flies.

This is a very relaxed, country-style event, within an hour of central Sydney.

It is a great introduction for children, grandchildren, friends and other relatives who may wish to attempt the vintage experience. Apart from anything else, it is one of the nicest picnic areas which we will have to ourselves for the day. See photos from prior years.
