Albany Classic draws bumper crowds to CBD in 30th anniversary

Families filled the streets and the roar of engines filled the air at the weekend as the Albany Classic made a blistering return in its 30th anniversary year. Hosted by the Albany Classic Motorsport Club and the Vintage Sports Car Club, the Albany Classic featured the Mt Clarence Hill Climb on Saturday and the headline Around the Houses event on Sunday. Tourists and locals flocked to the Albany CBD on Sunday for a taste of motorsport action at the scene of Australia’s original Around the Houses event 85 years ago. There were plenty of thrills and a couple of spills as drivers and fans enjoyed mostly dry conditions punctuated by some light showers.
