Join our friends from the BMW Drivers Club Canberra for the German Auto Day (GAD) 2024, as it returns to the Canberra region at the picturesque location of Thoroughbred Park.
GAD is a one day German automotive display event held each year in the Canberra region and is a collaboration event organised by local German branded marques, Audi, BMW, Mercedes Benz, Porsche, Volkswagen and other rare marques.
2024 will see some special prizes introduced, including best display! This will not be car or model specific and there will be prizes for best dressed! Get your thinking caps on and get creative!
Important - To secure your place in the Show 'n' Shine, you must register directly with the BMW Drivers Club Canberra here.
Please also register your interest in attending this event through this page, so we can easily contact you with any details for co-club related events.
General Entry will be $10, of which $5 goes to charity. We will also be holding the Clubs annual Show 'n' Shine - BMWCCC Members Entry – $20.00 (entry fee goes towards trophies and event costs). NOTE: Show 'n' Shine entries close Wednesday, 18 September to ensure judges have time to prepare.
There will be plenty to do and see for the whole family - Food, coffee and activities to keep the kids entertained!
