Vision for the Future
Visionary leadership honouring the past while inspiring future generations, and a community resource that ensures the spirit of Gnoo Blas continues to thrive.
Our story
The Orange Heritage Motor Museum traces its origins to the Gnoo Blas Racing Circuit, established in 1952 by the Orange Cherry Blossom Festival Committee and the Australian Sporting Car Club. Renowned for its character, the circuit hosted legendary drivers like Jack Brabham until its last race in 1961. Inspired by this legacy, the Gnoo Blas Classic Car Club was formed in 2015 to celebrate and preserve the region’s motoring history. Following the vision of inaugural President Denis Gregory, the museum will serve as a community hub and a tribute to local motoring heritage.
