2018 Phillip Island Classic

My thanks to my buddy Pauly Baldacchino for these photos from the 2018 Phillip Island Classic. This is one of the best historic racing events on the international calendar.

I should point out that Pauly, who is currently visiting Australia from the US, is a Ford fan, and in particular, of compact Fords such as the Cortina and Falcon, so you'll understand that his collection of photos is a little biased towards the marque.

But regardless, its great to be able to share photos from this great event.

If anyone else attended this event and has photos to share, please post them here.

A bit sad if it is not being looked after,first saw it in 1982 at Laguna Seca - the Buick Nailhead engine - brilliant !!
