About This Event

Historic Sandown is the Victorian Historic Racing Register's meeting at Sandown International Motor Raceway, back in November 2027 after the 2026 meeting was cancelled. Historic touring cars, sports cars and production sports cars race at the circuit where the pre Bathurst endurance race began.
