Phillip Island Classic 2023 - event photos
A collection of some of my highlights pics from this year's event, being the first since 2013 where there has been a significant amount of international entrants, led by a contingent of six Masters F1s from the 70s and 80s, which proved to be a very worthy headline act ... and that magnificent Chevron B31, dressed in B36 bodywork. I hope you enjoy the pics.

Great pics Peter, thanks. The three two liter Alfettas door to door is a pure gem. Not mentioning what seems to be a P4 spyder and the Healey and the TR and the Datsun Z and… OMG, too many to chose from!

OK, I go for the GT40 because I love the really big bubble above the driver's door. He must be tall.

Sadly that particular car pictured is a replica and no doubt fitted with an after market Gurney bubble similar to what you can now buy online from 'Race Car Replicas' for $120. ![]() |

Many thanks - the Alfa pic was taken at the start of one of the Group S races. Pure lucky timing, I'm afraid - all I had to do was be there and be ready ![]() |

We all know that chance factor has few to do with such a job. You're at the right place at the right moment and you do know your job.

Great pic.... in fact the driver of the blue Alfa nearest the camera, #86, is John Floyd and is a friend of mine. In fact he was with a group of us for dinner one night at PI! ![]() |

Now we have the name of the driver and of his personal coach!
![]() As an ex 105 Series driver, I've always been amazed by the Alfettas chassis, coupe and berlina, what a balance and clever design. Front suspension, transaxle, rear suspension, all is perfect out from the box, only the rear brakes should be improved. Unfortunately, the fantastic on the road 2 liter engine is almost a dog on the track, whether under Grp1 or Grp2 form. Please dont shoot me, only my personal opinion here… ![]() |
