Perth-raised Formula One star Daniel Ricciardo headlines an impressive list of stars due to descend on Perth Motorplex on December 13, for the Perth Speed Fest.
Ricciardo will drive the 2011 Red Bull-Renault Formula One racer that took Sebastien Vettel to the drivers' title that year, as well as taking the constructors' championship with Mark Webber in the sister machine. It won 12 of the season's 19 races.
Powered by a naturally-aspirated 2.4-litre Renault V8, the RB7's 18,000rpm limiter is sure to be heard for kilometres as Ricciardo demonstrates its performance. He will also be going up against several drag racing cars in an ultimate speed test.
Ricciardo heads a list of Australian racing royalty that includes 1980 Formula One World Champion, Alan Jones.
"I love coming to Perth as it is so beautiful. It will be great to catch up with old friends and to be able to see such a variety of motor vehicles up close and personal. Some of them will be as old as me!" said the former Williams star.
The Grand Prix stars will be joined by MotoGP rider Jack Miller and two-time Australian Superbike champion Wayne Maxwell (pictured on his Yamaha).
"I am super excited to be involved in Perth Speed Fest; I am a massive fan of all things motorsport, so to be able to see all breeds of motorsport from road cars to pure breed racing machines in one place is just awesome," Maxwell said.
Popular V8 Supercar driver Will Davison will also be in attendance.
In addition to the Formula One action other disciplines will be on-show, including V8 Supercars, rallying, drag racing. Fans of two wheels will see motorcross and race bike demonstrations. Classic cars will also be on display throughout the day.
