42 Muscle cars. 7 Days. 2000 Kilometres.

[Bridgestone]

Forty-two cars from the glory days of Bathurst revved their engines all the way from Adelaide to Remark via Phillip Island on the South Australian Aussie Muscle Car Run which took place in November.

All up, the event raised a whopping $350,000, absolutely smashing the $300,000 fundraising goal and almost doubling last year’s effort.

Aside from raising funds for a very worthy cause, the trip was also a chance for the group to experience some of the best motorsport circuits this country has to offer.



Day One: Adelaide to Naracoorte

Excitement levels were high on day two as the convoy headed to Mount Gambier for the Legends of the Lake Hill Climb where the captains of each car were given three chances to master the Mount.





Day Two: Naracoorte to Mount Gambier



Day Three: Mount Gambier to Halls Gap



Day Four: Halls Gap to Phillip Island

But day five was the moment they had all been waiting for… It was finally time to ignite the island at Phillip Island’s legendary Grand Prix Circuit – high speeds, thrills, spills and all.





Day Five: Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit

More motorsport anyone? Teams hit the Broadford Motorcycle Complex on day six for a little extra high octane fun. Drivers made sure to chuck on a real show, putting their machines through their paces on what’s known to be a pretty challenging track.



Day Six: Phillip Island to Bendigo



Day Seven: Bendigo to Renmark

Forty-two cars, seven days, 2000km, more than 100 drivers, codrivers and support crew members, $350,000 raised… Will we see you at the start line in 2017?

Bridgestone and the Leukaemia Foundation have been fundraising partners for 30 years and the Aussie Muscle Car Run is another way we’re helping raise community awareness and vital funds in the fight against blood cancer.
