Dare To Be Different (D2BD) has held another successful outing in Queensland with 30 young females attending the action-packed day.
Coming from Ashgrove State School, Leichhardt State School and Upper Coomera State College, the young females aged between eight and 12 attended Queensland Raceway and were full of smiles all day.
Like the visit to Erebus Motorsport earlier this year, the students took part in STEM, media and livery workshops, as well as fitness, reaction and pit stop challenges under the guidance of D2BD ambassadors.
On hand taking the girls through the different activities were ambassadors Jessica Dane, Romy Mayer, Bonnie Beard, Emily Duggan and Emma Notarfrancesco, with presenter and ambassador Jessica Yates also dropping in to give a talk about her career to date.
While the visit to Erebus included a special simulator challenge, the Queenslanders were able to get a taste of the real thing, taking part in a special junior karting challenge, which saw the students jump in a kart and take in some laps on track.
