2015 AUSTRALIAN MOTORING FESTIVAL DETAILS

The Australian Motoring Festival (AMF), opening in March next year as a joint venture between the Victorian Automobile Chamber of Commerce (VACC) and motoring club RACV, is rapidly taking shape.

Speaking to media today, VACC executive director David Purchase said that showgoers can expect a dramatically different experience to previous motor shows, while carmakers will spend a fraction of the usual cost to participate.

Mr Purchase said that while motor shows are traditionally a “look but don’t touch” affair, visitors to the new festival will be invited to interact with the cars and motorcycles on display, with the opportunity to test new models on a range of surfaces and courses.

The program will also allow showgoers to experience new technologies like autonomous parking and collision avoidance, and a number of off-road systems.

Up to 100 new models will be available for test, allowing for over 10,000 five-minute drive experiences.

Interactive motor shows are an approach that has been tried before in Australia, but never, Mr Purchase said, on this level and at such a large scale.
