Bavarian Breakfast Run (1 Nov 2026)

Sat, 31 Oct 2026 22:00:00 GMT

El Presidente wants to go for a drive and grab a coffee, so he figured the best way to do that is with a somewhat impromptu Morning Breakfast & Drive this Sunday!

We'll meet at Daughters Café, Hall (parking available at both the front and rear) for coffee, breakfast, and the opportunity to investigate the café's bold claim of serving "The Best Bacon and Egg Roll." As club members, it is our responsibility to thoroughly and scientifically assess this statement.

With a relatively short route planned, this could be the perfect excuse to give the chrome-bumper classics an outing.

Once suitably fuelled, both drivers and BMWs will depart via:

Barton Highway → Nanima Road → Murrumbateman Road → Sutton Road

Drive Route Here

We'll then regroup at Sutton Bakery, because stopping after just one coffee and food break would be poor planning.

Join us for some great roads, great company, and a relaxed Sunday morning... Remember, calories consumed during an official BMW Car Club event don't count... that's just science!

The birthplace of Australian Grand Prix racing

Goulburn, NSW holds a proud but often overlooked place in Australian motorsport history.

On 15 January 1927, the town hosted what was officially promoted and reported as the Australian Grand Prix for All Powers Racing Cars – the country’s first national-level racing event open to all engine types and sizes.

The race took place on a 1.6-kilometre circuit in the grounds of the Goulburn Showground. It attracted competitors and spectators from across the country and was sanctioned by the Royal Automobile Club of NSW. The event was a genuine national championship, not merely a local club meeting.

Why this story matters

The 1927 event has been largely forgotten in mainstream motorsport history, overshadowed by the 1928 Phillip Island race which is often cited as the first Australian Grand Prix. But contemporary newspaper coverage from 1927 is clear: Goulburn’s event was nationally promoted and reported as the Australian Grand Prix.

Restoring this history matters – for Goulburn, for motorsport heritage, and for an accurate understanding of when and where Australian grand prix racing began.

Centenary highlights

Whether you're a racing fan, history buff or looking for a unique regional experience, Goulburn will roar to life with heritage, horsepower and hospitality.
