    [post_content] => In January 1927, on the roads of Goulburn, Australia made motorsport history. The first Australian Grand Prix for motor cars was held, and the first Grand Prix ever staged in the Southern Hemisphere. 

Goulburn had already hosted the first Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix in 1924 and the first Motorcycle Tourist Trophy in 1914, making it the undisputed birthplace of Grand Prix motor racing on this continent.

One hundred years on, Goulburn celebrates this extraordinary legacy with a landmark four-day festival.

The Goulburn Grand Prix Centenary brings together historic vehicle displays featuring original AGP-linked cars,  including a rare Type 39 Bugatti from the UK,  motorsport demonstrations at One Raceway, a week-long historic motorsport program, heritage exhibitions, a formal gala dinner, community festivities, carnival entertainment, and food and artisan markets across the Goulburn Recreation Area.

Organised by Celebrate Goulburn Group Inc. in partnership with Goulburn Mulwaree Council, VSCCA, GEAR, and One Raceway, the centenary is the inaugural event in a planned annual heritage motorsport series.

Whether you're a vintage car enthusiast, a motorsport history devotee, or simply looking for an unforgettable regional experience, this is a once in a century celebration that can only happen in one place,  Goulburn, NSW.
