Need a break from the Sprints competition? There's plenty else to do!
Don't miss the quaint and colourful Vintage Caravans and their equally colourful tow vehicles in the paddock behind the Royal Hotel and on Sunday (only) head to the area behind the Leyburn Motel for a glistening display of cars and bikes in the Shannons Show ‘n’ Shine. They’re competing for trophies, so are sure to be looking their best.
There’s so much more to see and do. Join the welcome barbecue and mingle with the drivers on Friday afternoon from 4.30pm and enjoy a cold drink and sausage for a gold coin donation. Using your mobile phone, buy tickets to win a hot lap ride in one of four super-quick race cars. You can take a helicopter ride, too, get some great food and drinks and listen to live music at the Royal and the RSL club. Visit the market stalls and the merchandise tent in Warwick Street to buy your 2023-edition hats, shirts and other souvenirs.
