The Victorian Centenary Grand Prix was a motor race staged at the Phillip Island circuit in Victoria, Australia on Saturday, 27 October 1934.[1] The 230 mile race, which was organised by the Australian Racing Drivers Club, was contested on a handicap basis.[1] The race was the richest and the longest that had been held in the state of Victoria to that time,[1] and was the first road race in Australia to be open to "catalogued racing and sports cars of all powers".[2] Of the 22 starters, eight finished within the limit of 25 minutes after the winner.[1] The race was won by Mick Smith, competing under the name “Gardner”, and driving a Ford V8 Roadster.[1]
The Grand Prix was an official event on the centenary program[3] commemorating Edward Henty’s 1834 settlement at Portland, which led to the founding of the state of Victoria.[4]
