AUSTRALIAN SPEED is a high-speed motorsport event held on the hardened salt surface of the (usually) dry Lake Gairdner in outback South Australia. The event sees participants attempting the really simple, yet really difficult task of going as fast as possible on the concrete-hard, yet weirdly slippery salt surface of the lake. Speeds of the fastest, most powerful cars – including recognisable classics such as Falcons, Kingswoods and Commodores - are in excess of 200mph.
