September
PowerCruise Brisbane
There is one thing that most car enthusiasts love most and that is actually driving cars! Some people love fixing them up, buying cars, selling their cars, but almost everyone loves getting behind the wheel of old passion projects to new flashy vehicles. The only problem with this is finding a place to drive a car the way it’s made to be driven without breaking the law! Well, if you’re a car lover in Brisbane and you have this sentiment, then the PowerCruise will make your day, or your whole year. The PowerCruise was pretty much created solely for the purpose of giving car enthusiasts a chance to drive their cars like they mean it. The event gets a quarter million spectators every year so if you’re selling your car in Brisbane, you can still come along to take part in the fun. There are usually between three and four thousand entrants who bring their beloved vehicles along so there will be no shortage of entertainment. Tickets vary in price and are available for a single day and up to a full four-day weekend of camping and excitement. If you’ve got any mini car lovers in the making, they can come for free if they’re under twelve! Pack the family into the car and get in on the PowerCruise action.
