FIVE DAYS OF PETROL HEAVEN Wayne & Geraldine Hough

rom the opening in Victoria Square on Wednesday 16 th November 2016 to Sunday evening at the Motorsport Legends Dinner , we experienced what can only be described as “ Rev-Head Heaven ”. At midday on Wednesday the sound of a 1980 ’ s F1 Ferrari again reverberated around the Square . This announced the official opening of the 2016 Adelaide Motorsport Festival , organised by the Sporting Car Club of SA . Three 1980 ’ s VIP guest F1 drivers – Stefan Johannson , Pierluigi Martini and Ivan Capelli - were reintroduced to Adelaide . Stefan Johannson reacquainted himself with the actual Ferrari that he drove in the Adelaide F1 Grand Prix . The opening ceremony was part of the Media Opportunities that Wayne had received with his media photographer accreditation from the SCCSA for the entire event .
