Festival of motoring roars into Joondalup this weekend
More than 1000 modern, vintage, exotic and rare vehicles are set to be on display over the two days.
The public events kick off Saturday from 9am with the Trash or Treasure Car Jumble Sale, where enthusiasts can swap parts and memorabilia, followed by Steel Bumpers and Beverages, giving festival-goers a chance to mingle with fellow car lovers while admiring classic cars.

On Sunday from 10am to 4pm, the streets of the Joondalup city centre will echo with the roar of engines as cars race at full throttle on the 1.8km street circuit for the adrenaline-pumping City Sprint.

Along with the spectacular car displays, Tyrepower Pro Central Park will be the heart of the action, with live music, food vans and a wide range of drinks to enjoy throughout the event.
More than 20,000 people attended last year's event and event organiser Justin Hunt said planning for this year's festival began just a week after last year's event ended.
Hunt said the event had been well-received in the past two years since its inception and was looking forward to another fantastic weekend of motorsport.
'The way the residents embrace the event, with people sitting on their verandahs cheering and waving, makes it all the more fun,' he said.
'I also love seeing the automotive and Joondalup community all embrace each other in what truly is an engineering feast.
'Everyone has different interests, but we all share a love for cars, good food trucks, and a nice glass of wine or beer — so there's truly something for everyone.' More than 1000 modern, vintage, exotic and rare vehicles will be on display. Credit: Tim Allott
Hunt said the festival was a perfect bridge between generations.
'One of the most heartwarming things is seeing little kids' faces light up when they spot a Lamborghini, Ferrari or a beautifully restored classic. It's always such a special moment, and it brings a real sense of pride to the owners,' he said.
While most events are completely free to enjoy, Saturday night will feature an intimate Q&A with Erebus Motorsport Supercars driver Jack Le Brocq, who has raced across Formula Ford, GT, the Dunlop Series, and the Supercars Championship.
The ticketed event will be hosted by motorsport legend Dean Herridge at the Club JFOM Marquee.

'The More Value You Provide, The More Money You Can Earn,' How This Self-Made Millionaire Employed 'One-To-Infinity' Leverage, Growing Her Net Worth
For years, Rose Han made her money linearly. She toiled away at her corporate job hour after hour, bringing home regular paychecks. The money was good, enough to help her tackle six figures of student loans and begin investing, but not enough to live the lifestyle Han desired. So she began to explore the idea of "leveraged income." "That's a completely different mentality that we don't learn in school,' Han told Business Insider. "Leverage is the explanation behind any significant wealth creation, no matter who you look at." Don't Miss: 'Scrolling To UBI' — Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones. You can Accredited Investors: Grab Pre-IPO Shares of the AI Company Powering Hasbro, Sephora & MGM— Han, who now owns a financial literacy company, broke down the idea of leveraged income this way. A personal trainer who works one-on-one with clients has zero leverage. 'You show up, trade hours for dollars, and you get paid," she told the outlet. Trainers who run group fitness classes and can work with multiple clients at once have what she calls "one-to-many" leverage. "Now they're serving 10 people at once and therefore making about 10 times more,' she said. The goal, though, is "one-to-infinity" leverage. This could look like a personal trainer who builds an app that can be downloaded by an endless number of people. Essentially, you do the work once and are able to reap the benefits for years to come. "That concept really was the key that I unlocked," she said. For Han, the jump to "one-to-infinity" leverage didn't happen overnight. Trending: $100k+ in investable assets? – no cost, no obligation. She started her business in the basement of a co-working space, where she hosted regular classes based on her own experiences. 'I was just learning a lot on my financial awakening journey, so I wanted to share it,' she told Business Insider. 'In the back of my mind, I thought, 'OK, maybe there's some way I could make this lucrative,' but that's not the goal.' After two years, she started posting some of her classes on YouTube. 'The idea that a video could reach millions of people, 24/7, for the rest of my life and even after, that was really just wild to me,' Han said. 'I was skeptical because I'd never gone on camera. It was scary."These days, her YouTube channel has nearly 1 million subscribers and has evolved into an entire company with online courses, brand deals, affiliate links, and even a book deal. "I worked a lot to create that course, and it didn't just happen in seven days, but I created something once that I could sell over and over and over and serve a lot of people. I created a lot of value with something, and so I got paid in that exponential way," she told Business Insider. Those looking to emulate Han's success should start by asking themselves one question, she says: What value can I provide? 'I fully believe that the more value you provide, the more you can earn,' Han told the outlet. 'And, if you think creatively enough, there's no limit to how much value you can provide and therefore how much money you can earn.'

On July 30, Susquehanna analyst Christopher Rolland raised the price target on the stock to $210 from $135 and kept a 'Positive' rating on the shares. After previewing Q2 results, the analysts anticipate generally in-line to slightly better results on the back of stronger PC sales. This is because Intel acknowledged that tariff-related pull-ins continued in 2Q. The firm has also highlighted that AMD boasts server business strength. It has been gaining market share in EPYC data center CPUs. A major factor behind the upgraded outlook on AMD is that the government announced in July that it would review and likely renew AMD's license application for exporting MI308 AI chips to China. A close up of a complex looking PCB board with several intergrated semiconductor parts. Provided this occurs, it would help in reversing the previously anticipated $1.5 billion negative revenue impact from China restrictions. As of now, the firm expects AMD to recover an estimated $800 million in revenue during the second half of 2025 from the potential China sales. It also highlighted that much of the $800 million in MI308 inventory that AMD was planning to write down may now be sold at near-zero cost. Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD) develops and sells semiconductors, processors, and GPUs for data centers, gaming, AI, and embedded applications.
