More than 35,000 people braved chilly and windy weather to be a part of the largest championship drag racing event held outside of North America at Ipswich, Queensland.

Ipswich councillor Nicole Jonic said the Winternationals is part of Ipswich’s social fabric.

“It is one of the most family-friendly motorsport environments on the calendar and a unique opportunity to get up close and personal with some of the largest, fastest vehicles in existence,” Cr Jonic said.
