2010 Barry Sheene Festival of Speed
The Post Classic Racing Association of NSW is on to a winner with the Barry Sheene Festival of Speed and in 2010, their annual Easter weekend extravaganza of blast-from-the-past racing at Eastern Creek continues to thrive. Dedicated to the former 500cc Grand Prix star who relieved some of his retirement boredom by taking up classic racing in the 1990’s and worked hard to lift the profile of the sport, the Barry Sheene Festival of Speed always makes for fantastic viewing. In a single morning, six decades of motorcycle development are on show, in full motion and at full noise.
Classic motorsport is like a museum where your imagination doesn’t have to fill in any blanks. Spot an immaculate 1960’s racebike in the pits, and instead of trying to picture what it would sound like, or how it would move, wait five minutes. It’ll be its turn on the track soon enough.
For anyone old enough to remember any of these bikes from their first time around, seeing them again fixes any wandering their memories might’ve done over the years; and for anyone younger and enamored of modern bikes’ crushing efficiency, the drama of a Spitfire-loud British single or a 220kg Japanese inline-four is an eye-opener.
The format for the weekend’s racing is short, sharp, and, for the most part, very, very loud. Everyone races four times, for between four and six laps; less likelihood of old machinery letting go in a short race and being there to take the grid in the next one. With the huge field of near-200 competitors into six age- and capacity-based categories, giving a total of 24 races over the course of the weekend; a total of some 130 laps of racing.
