Organisers of the forthcoming Festival of Speed inside Thoroughbred Park have sought to distance themselves from the recent Summernats poor behaviour controversy, declaring their inaugural event would be "a very different one, and appeal to a very different audience".
Co-director for the festival, Martin Tanti, said their event would bring out "the most amazing, high-end, high-quality, high performance cars Canberra has ever seen and put them on a demonstration track where people can hear them, and see them".
