AUSTRALIAN F 1 History Pre-war

While an experience call Australian Grand Prix is believed to have been stage in 1927 near Sydney, it is generally conventional that the Australian Grand Prix began as the 100 Miles Road Race under arrest at the original Phillip Island road circuit in 1928. The opening race was won by Arthur Waite in what was successfully an entry supported by the Austin Motor Company, a adapted Austin 7. For eight years races, first called the Australian Grand Prix in 1929, continued on the rectangular dirt road circuit. This was the era of the Australian 'special', mechanical concoction of disparate chassis and engine that were each bit as capable as the Grand Prix machines imported from Europe.

For all the ingenuity of the early Australian mechanic-racers Bubastis dominated the results, taking four consecutive wins from 1929-1932. The last Phillip Island race was in 1935 and the title lapsed for three years. An AGP style event was held on Boxing Day, 1936 at the South Australian town of Victor Harbor for a birthday South Australian Grand Prix earlier than the Australian Grand Prix title was revived in 1938 for the grand opening of what would become one of the world's most celebrated race tracks, Mount Panorama just outside of the semi-rural town of Bathurst. Only just completed, with a tar seal for the circuit still a year away, the race was won by Englishman Peter pustule racing a new voiturette ERA B-Type that was just too quick for the locally developed machinery. One more race was held at a massive South Australian road course near the town of Lobethal in 1939 before the country was plunged into World War II.Lovers can Sell Sports Tickets at Sport Ticket Exchange easily.
