About This Event

Rotary Revival is a full day built around rotary powered cars, where owners drive their Mazdas on the circuit instead of parking them on a lawn. At Mallala Motorsport Park that means cruise sessions, racer laps, off street drags for cash and an open skid pan, with a paddock full of rotaries running from morning to late afternoon.

1What to Expect

The day runs from 8am to 5pm with cars on the circuit for most of it: cruise sessions, racer laps for entrants who want a faster pace, a parade lap and skid pan sessions for drifting.
Off street drags run with cash prizes for the winners.
The show and shine has trophies across a range of categories, and trade displays bring in businesses, builders and tuners from the rotary scene.
Show all 5
Entries range from restored classics and street cars to dedicated race cars.
The Sydney round at Sydney Motorsport Park on 24 October 2026 drew a record 419 cars (organiser figure).
