New event to kick off Classic week
A new public event called Thrill On The Hill will spark celebrations for the 2025 Flying Horse Grand Annual Sprintcar Classic.
An event will be held at Flagstaff Hill where Sprintcars will be seen in the middle of the town on Monday, January 20 along with various other activities.
The event will kick off at 17.00 with a cannon firing before a sprintcar parade takes place through the village.
Drivers will also be in attendance and interviews as part of a live show hosted by Gavin White.
“This will be an historic occasion where we’ll have V8 powered, 900 horsepower Sprintcars usually only seen at Premier Speedway come to life in the centre of Warrnambool,” Warrnambool Mayor Cr Ben Blain said.
“Council is really pleased to help bring the excitement of the Speedway into the heart of the city.
“Flagstaff Hill and the Speedway are two of Warrnambool most recognisable attractions and by joining forces we’re acknowledging the positive impact the Speedway has on the city and also giving people who might not have visited the Speedway a chance to see these racing cars up close.”
Premier Speedway General Manager Michael Parry said Thrill on the Hill was born last season when they trailed a something similar albeit on a smaller scale.
“Working with the Flagstaff Hill team has brought the idea to reality,” Parry said.
“I am so appreciative to have the support of the Flagstaff Hill team.
“We’ve combining our passion to deliver something truly unique to the event and showcase the beautiful Warrnambool location.
“It is a perfect collaboration for Warrnambool.”
