More Than Hoons: 100 Years of Newcastle Motorsport

Along the way we visit the names of our legendary events; Mattara Hillclimb, Motordrome, Super Moto, Rickshaw Hot-rod Show and of course the infamous Kooragang Island.

The world of car culture is divided into two camps, 'hoons', and 'car enthusiasts'. The way they treat their cars is very different but ask any 'car enthusiast' what they were doing when 17 and you may get a different answer.

This film talks to dozens of race drivers, event co-ordinators, mechanical magicians, car lovers, an ex-highway patrol officer and of course many hoons, to get this story from every angle.

The characters in this documentary could be anywhere in the world, but the locations and the stories are endearingly Newcastle.
