CHARITY CAR EVENT - Sunday 01 Nov
2026 German Car Day
Proudly hosted by Mercedes Benz Car Club of Western Australia (MBCCWA), this is a must-do event as the club celebrates Oktoberfest in style with an autobahn-style scenic drive.
The $10 entry fee (per car, spectators free) raises money to support our important work, providing much-needed funding to keep our wheelchair accessible fleet rolling.
Note: You don’t need to be part of a registered German marque club to take part. All classic and modern German cars are welcome.

FAQs about Charity Car Days
How do I get involved?
The easiest way to support our Charity Car Days is by entering a marque! Whatever decade your ride is from, show up to support Wheels For Hope – your entry fee goes towards helping WA families living with disability.
Do I have to own a certain kind of car to participate?
Our charity car days are in partnership with clubs that are built around certain manufacturers or groups of manufacturers. Check out which event is up next to find out if your vehicle is eligible – for example, German car day will accept any German-made marques, and we have also had Japanese and British car days previously.
What if I can't attend, but still want to support the event?
You can still support our Charity Days by donating money directly, or through prizes or services – depending on how the event is run, we may have sponsorship opportunities available. We hope to see you in person at the next one!
How does sponsoring a Wheels For Hope event work?
We’re able to hold these events because of our corporate and community partners, who sponsor us with funds or prizes specifically to help with these events. This means that more proceeds can go right back to our fundraising efforts, rather than covering costs of the event.
If you would like to become a corporate sponsor or donate for one of our events, you can contact us anytime to enquire further.
Our Supporters
So much of what we do is achieved thanks to the kind support of our key sponsors. Without their help we wouldn’t be able to keep our wheels turning.
