Vintage car at club run

Our club run

In 2023, we paid homage to our automobile club roots and re-created our first club run.

Back to where it all began

We began as a car club, and we’re proud to recognise the vital role that our members have played in preserving our automobile roots. Paying homage to our car enthusiast members, our centenary year concluded with the recreation of our first club run.

We invited members to take a step back in time, driving in convoy from Hobart to New Norfolk with heritage and special-interest vehicles. These included our RACT fleet vehicles, the 1954 Holden FJ Van and the 1980 Ford Escort.

The journey began at Government House in Hobart and culminated at the Esplanade in New Norfolk, echoing the route our members took in 1923. This event was a wonderful way to reminisce about the past and commemorate the rich history and traditions of RACT.

Following the drive, convoy participants had the opportunity to view the classic cars on display and enjoy afternoon tea under the trees.

We’re proud to be on the journey with our members.

Then. Now. Tomorrow.
