Docklands revs up for weekend of motorsport in March

The Docklands precinct will roar into life next month when the checkered flag is dropped to start the Live Fast Festival Docklands, hosted by the Australian Grand Prix Corporation (AGPC).

Development Victoria has collaborated with AGPC in bringing the Live Fast Festival to the precinct, with a range of activities to be held across the weekend of 5-6 March.

Classic and vintage cars will fill the streets - and the prestigious Fox Classic Car Collection Museum is opening up the doors to showcase its collection of rare and prestigious vehicles.

There’s plenty to see for motorsport enthusiasts with car clubs displaying their vintage and exotic classic vehicles while F1® fans will have an opportunity to get up close with the new-spec 2022 Formula 1® race car.

Development Victoria’s Group Head Precincts Geoff Ward is encouraging fans to come along and enjoy the sights and sounds of the event – as well as Docklands.

“Bringing the Live Fast Festival to the Fox Classic Car Collection museum is a great synergy and showcases the best of what Docklands has to offer,” Mr Ward said.

“We are proud to support this free experience where you can head to Docklands to kickstart your motorsport festival and discover everything else on offer.”

“This is a great way for everyone to be a part of the Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix, one of Melbourne’s flagship events that makes us the events and sporting capital of Australia.”
