PHEASANT WOOD CIRCUIT
This is your chance to celebrate the legendary "Wookiee" roar of the VR6. THIS YEAR WE’RE IN NEW SOUTH WALES - bring your wookiees and friends!
The VR6 engine isn't your average six-cylinder. This marvel of German engineering brings together the compactness of an inline engine with the power and smooth delivery of a V6. But what truly sets the VR6 apart is its sound - a distinctive growl that's earned it the nickname "Wookiee".
Whether you love your VR6 in stock form, have tastefully tinkered under the hood, unleashed its full potential with boost, or a fan of these engines, Wookiee Fest and Friends welcomes you.
What to Expect:
A gathering of VR6 engine fanatics of all generations along with Euro's.
Share your passion, swap stories, and learn from fellow VR6 engine aficionados.
