🏁 ANNOUNCING A NEW JUNIOR ENDURANCE RACING TEAM– SOUTH AUSTRALIA 🏁

We’re excited (and a little nervous) to finally share something we’ve been quietly working on for a while with the South Australian Motor Events community.

This is a junior endurance racing project built by people who love this community, for young people who want to be part of it.

👩‍🚀👨‍🚀 Who we’re looking for

We’re opening expressions of interest for juniors aged 14–18:

Girls and boys
With or without disability
Including neurodivergent juniors and those with physical disabilities
Juniors we can safely and appropriately support in a race car

This is not about producing the next Supercars driver.
There are no talent scouts, no career pathways, no pressure.

👉 If your kid isn’t serious about having fun, learning teamwork, and being part of something cool — we probably aren’t the team for them.

😄 What this is about

Fun
Inclusion
Belonging
Learning how grassroots motorsport actually works
Being part of a real endurance race team
Laughing in the pits at when things go sideways (safely)

🦺 Safety comes first. Always.

Safety is non-negotiable and heavily engineered into the project, including:

Short, carefully managed driver stints
Automatic and SLOW AF Car
Adult-supervised checklists for drivers, pit stops and refuelling
Full safety equipment
A fully compliant full Rollin cages cage
Clear procedures, training, and oversight at every step
This is motorsport done properly, not casually.

💙 Keeping costs as low as possible

Thanks to our existing and future sponsors, we’re working hard to keep participation costs as low as we realistically can, because access matters.

A massive thank you to the organisations already backing this project:

Motor Events Racing SA – reduced junior entry fees
Baggio Legall – helping us set up the club properly
The Auto Detective– race car build support
Paul Calder, Albion Park General Store – logistics assistance
R&D Certainty – financial assistance
Bridgestone Australia Tyres & Auto (Norwood, Murray Bridge, Port Adelaide, Magill) for assistance with Tyres
W&K Motorsport – car preparation support
Brandnation - Branding and graphic design support
Race.Track GPS Race Control for GPS systems that help with safety and coaching.

If you’re a South Australian parent, a junior, or someone in the MER community who thinks “this is exactly the sort of thing we needed when we were younger” — keep an eye on this page, share it around, and come along to the info night.

This is grassroots motorsport.
This is about fun first.
And we can’t wait to get started. 🏁
