Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to provide my own car?
Yes - this program requires you to bring your own road car to participate.
Anyone can get involved in motorsport in your everyday road car. This program aims to support you with the basic skills and knowledge for you to continue participating in motorsport with your own vehicle.
Your car will need to be in a safe roadworthy condition and in compliance with state road regulations.
Do I need a race suit or helmet to participate?
No – we just request that you wear non-flammable pants and long sleeve clothing and fully enclosed shoes. You are not required to supply a helmet for this event.
Some of the most accessible forms of motorsport such as motorkhanas don’t require you to wear full race suits or helmets as they are performed at relatively low speeds in a controlled environment.
How old do I have to be to participate?
This program is aimed for ages 16+.
If you are under 16, we recommend checking out our First Gear program which is specifically tailored for 12–17-year-olds.

Engineer your Career
Engineering is the art of applying science, technology and maths to create solutions for human needs to improve the way we live. As an engineer, every day is a challenge to innovate and solve problems. It influences all aspects of our
lives. Without engineering we wouldn’t be able to carry out daily tasks (transport, construction, generate and use electricity). Engineering disciplines are very diverse. Areas in which you can specialise include Mechanical,
Aerospace, Electrical and Civil.

Your Career as a Motorsport Official
Every motorsport event requires a variable number of volunteers and officials, without them the
sport could not function. Officials ensure that events are conducted fairly in accordance with the regulations. Volunteers and officials also make possible that the Events are run in a safe manner. Not just for competitors but for other officials and spectators. Areas in which you can specialise are technical, sporting, media and emergency.
