The MG Car Club of Tasmania extends a warm invitation to members to attend the 2027 MG National Meeting to be conducted in and around Launceston, Tasmania.
For those who may not be familiar with Tasmania, Launceston is about an hour’s travel time from Devonport if coming by ship, or for those flying in, about twenty minutes from the airport. We look forward to welcoming you and sharing all that this wonderful region has to offer.
Our base will be the Tailrace Function Centre (TFC) at Riverside, approximately 10 minutes’ drive from the Launceston CBD. This will be the centre for all the social events. The program for the meeting is as follows:
Monday 12th April – Registration, Noggin & Natter / Rocker Cover Racing at TFC
Tuesday 13th April – Concours at Longford
Theme Night at TFC
Wednesday 14th April – Motorkhana – Buckby Motors Symmons Plains Raceway
Kimber Run, leaving from TFC
Thursday 15th April – Super Sprint – Buckby Motors Symmons Plains Raceway
Discovery Run leaving from TFC
Formal Dinner at TFC
Friday 16th April – Farewell Breakfast and Delegates Meeting at TFC
Concours will take place at Longford, site of the original Longford racing circuit, which is approximately 30 minutes’ drive from the TFC. The speed events are scheduled for Buckby Motors Symmons Plains Raceway, home of the V8 Supercars, approximately 30 minutes’ drive from the TFC. Meanwhile, the Discovery Run and Kimber Run will wind along country roads that highlight the region’s agricultural heritage.
While the new Spirits of Tasmania will be running in 2027, we recommend that you book your shipping early, especially if you are towing a trailer. Group bookings can be organised by contacting the TT Line:
