The date for the 2024 Phillip Island Classic has been revealed with the Victorian Historic Racing Register event to maintain its early March window.
The 2024 running of the “Festival of Motorsport” will be held on March 7-10 2024.
To add to the excitement entires will start opening in around three weeks time.
There is plenty of anticipation around the return of the Phillip Island Classic after the 2023 edition was hailed as the “best ever”.
With a field of former Formula 1 cars, five-time Bathurst 1000 winner Steven Richards racing his father’s 1990 ATCC winner, ex Ferrari star Eddie Irvine in attendance and countless classic cars, there was something for every motorsport fan and they responded.
VHRR president Ian Tate said the 2023 Island Classic set a new benchmark for the long-running event.
“It was the best classic we have ever had,” Tate told AUTO ACTION at the time.
“We had a record crowd Friday and Saturday and it went exceptionally well.
“The crowd between the road and the back of the pits was packed, I had never seen a crowd like it.”
With Irvine himself even proclaiming “I might come back next year” there is expected to be another strong crowd at the famous 4.445km circuit in 2024.
