Newcastle isn’t just about beaches and footy — it’s also home to a passionate and growing car culture. From classic car meets and 4WD groups to track days and restoration clubs, there’s a lot happening under the hood in the Hunter region.
At Hunter Automotive & Tyre, we don’t just service cars — we live and breathe them. Here’s your guide to local car clubs, events, and communities around Newcastle, Maitland, and the Hunter Valley.
One of the most well-known clubs in the area, the MG Car Club hosts regular hill climb events at Ringwood Park, plus track days, time trials, and casual social runs. It’s open to all makes and models — not just MGs.
Monthly “Cars and Coffee” events bring together enthusiasts of all ages and styles — classics, hot rods, JDM builds, muscle cars, and more. No egos, no burnouts — just a chill Sunday morning.
The Hunter region hosts a few specialty muscle car shows every year, drawing crowds from Maitland to Singleton. Think restored Holdens, Fords, Valiants — and plenty of old-school power.
Keep an eye on local event pages and car forums for upcoming show dates.
JDM fans rejoice — there’s a tight-knit Japanese car scene in Newcastle, with a strong following for Skylines, Silvias, Evos, and Subarus. Events range from informal meets to large annual showcases.
Love getting your tyres dirty? The Hunter 4WD Club runs regular off-road adventures through the Watagans, Stockton Beach, and further inland. These clubs are great for family trips, technical learning, and safe exploration.
Whether you're part of a club or just enjoy the occasional Sunday drive, there’s no shortage of car culture in Newcastle and the Hunter. Want to take part? Start by showing up — or drop by Hunter Automotive & Tyre to make sure your ride’s ready.
