BJGrandPrixHistory

 Pre-War A raced called the Australian Grand Prix was in 1927 just outside of Sydney, Usually people say the first official Australian Grand prix was held at Phillip Island over 100 Miles it was won by Arthur White. For eight years races first called the Australian Grand Prix in 1929 it continued on the dirt track in the shape of a rectangle. The Last Phillip Island

race was in 1935, on Boxing Day, 1936 at the South Australian town of Victor Harbor for a centennial South Australian Grand Prix before the Australian Grand Prix title was revived in 1938 it became one of the world most famous race tracks, Mount Panorama just outside of Bathurst a rural town. One more race was held at a giant South Australian road circuit near the town of Lobethal in 1939 before the country was plunged into World War II.

Post-War

 After the war the racing industry had a lot of competitors using cars they had before WWII. Mount Panorama held the first race after the war in 1947, a mixture of stripped down race cars took victory in the race that was temporarily converted airfield circuits like Point Cook and Narrogin. The race returned to Mount Panorama in 1952, Cars like Maserati and Mini Coopers were in the race but yet to prove there qualities The end of the Australian 'specials' was coming, but the magnificent Maybach-based series of specials driven exuberantly by Stan Jones would give many hope for the next few years. In the 20th Century it was much dominated by Michael Schumacher and few other and they had very good cars that went 305 Kph which is huge speed and imagine crashing at that speed. Hope you enjoyed
