2026 Sydney Autumn Drive Day
REGISTRATION NOW OPEN
Continuing our theme of exciting collaborations, we’re thrilled to be partnering with the ReDriven team to bring you the 2026 Sydney Autumn Drive Day.
This event is open to all, however, registration is essential.
Why We Drive
DAD drive days are always about connection and community. They hold the intention to normalise mental health challenges and mental illness, promote conversations around these and offer pathways for seeking further support.
We use driving and the shared enthusiasm for cars and great roads as our way of connecting and escaping downward emotional spirals. We know that connection is vital for mental wellbeing, and DAD events deliver this in spades.
DAD isn’t a club, it’s a community. Please don’t feel you need to have a particular model or age of car to attend – if you love it, bring it.
Our drive days are strictly social and non-competitive. We use open roads and carefully plan our drive routes to make them as safe and logical as possible, while using engaging roads with interesting scenery for a great day out. Safe driving behaviour is a non-negotiable part of our event. Keeping everyone safe on the road is of utmost importance.
We advocate for using DAD drive days as an inclusive environment to start your mental health conversation where you feel comfortable to do so, however, DAD drive days are not a crisis service.
What’s Happening for the 2026 Sydney Autumn Drive Day?
This event continues our new theme of long-awaited collaborations, and we’re so excited to be sharing this event with Adam Morris, Jim Hull and ReDriven.
Adam and Jim are enthusiastic supporters of DAD, and we’re privileged to have their support for this day.
We absolutely loved sharing the 2025 Sydney Spring Drive Day with rally legend and drive route superstar Cody Crocker, so you can imagine our delight when Cody jumped back in to be the drive route lead for this event. He’s mapping out an excellent drive route for our crews, which will be shared shortly.
The date is coming up quickly, so we invite you to pop the date in your diary, gather your mates, and register below.
The full participant pack, drive route, and individual Tourboss link will be emailed to registered participants in advance of the event.
