The Tradition Continues

The History

The first Friday in November is iconic for those of us that remember the F1 Grand Prix’s that ran at the Adelaide Parklands Circuit. While it was a fantastic motorsport event, there were many extra events that helped make the Grand Prix a week long party!

The Climb to the Eagle was one of those events. John Blanden organised a run from Hutt Street to the Eagle on the Hill hotel for special interest and historic racing cars to drive on the city streets up the “old” road to the Eagle on the Hill for a morning tea.

This event has continued since the Grand Prix left our state and has become a great motoring event.
