Albany’s city centre was again transformed into a race track with the sounds and smells of motor racing returning.

The annual Albany Classic drew thousands to the event on Sunday, with a fields of classic and historic cars put through their paces around the street circuit, which included sections of York Street and Aberdeen Street.

The cars were a mix of eras including vintage open-wheelers, muscle cars and sleek European classics.

The classic was born from the original Round the Houses racing, which dates back to the pre and post World War II era.

The racing was accompanied by a classic cars display and entertainment.
