Choose your ideal viewing spot along the route to catch all the action, or make your way to the Finish Festival at the National Motor Museum. Immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere, enjoy live entertainment, and indulge in a day filled with motoring nostalgia. *Entrants to the RAA Bay to Birdwood please note that your entry includes admission to the Finish Festival, including the National Motor Museum, for all legally seated occupants of the entered vehicle.
