GET your engine running ... MotorWorld Sydney will be held at Sydney Motorsport Park in Eastern Creek on 1-4 December, with the promise of thrilling entertainment, fun activities and lots to learn.
Highlights will include The Mega Test Fest, possibly the biggest car test ever to be held.
It will offer visitors more than 7000 test drive opportunities in over 120 cars from 35 brands, among them the new Fiat Spider, Lotus Exige, Volvo V40 T5 R-Design and Jaguar XF.
To do this, would-be Jeremy Clarksons need to go online and select up to three of their favourite cars to take for a spin. If successful, they then drive these vehicles on the Track Drive on the Brabham Circuit at Sydney Motorsport Park, the Dirt Drive on the undulating gravel track, or the Street Drive on the freeways and suburban roads of the street circuit around Eastern Creek.
All this is included in the entry ticket price.

- The Land Rover Twin Terrapod, where the team will drive you up an incredibly steep incline and then down an equally confronting descent, demonstrating the versatility of the vehicles.
- The BMW Motorrad, a two-day off-road training course.
- All-terrain vehicle testing on a dedicated track near.
- A caravan parking test, a chance for visitors to learn how to reverse into a tight spot
