Circuit Excel South Australia has upped the ante, fielding a public callout to Australia’s pool of professional drivers to consider joining the fun at this year’s Circuit Excel South Australia Enduro.
The Circuit Excel SA Enduro provides an opportunity for a grassroots event to meet pro-level racing, as the club opens its doors to high-profile drivers to become co-drivers at one of Australia’s most competitive entry-level categories.
This year’s Enduro will run from 4-5 December at Shell V-Power Motorsport Park at Tailem Bend in South Australia.
The Circuit Excel Association of SA outlined drivers in categories such as Supercars, TCR, Trans Am, Super2, Super3 and more are welcome to join the grid, not as guests of honour, but as co-drivers in the thick of the action.
South Australia’s Excel racing community is already on the front foot, reaching out to professional drivers to race, already locking one in.
Super2 driver Brad Vaughan has confirmed he will be part of this year’s Enduro event as an entrant.
Event organiser Aaron Semler said the event is about showcasing the heart of grassroots motorsport.
“[It’s about] competitive, friendly, accessible motorsport, and putting it side-by-side with the best in the country,” Semler described.
“We want the likes of Brodie Kostecki, Chaz Mostert, Cam Waters and Will Davison jumping into Excels for the fun of it — and believe me, they’ll be impressed.”
The format will involve an afternoon bump-in and a three-hour open pit lane session on the Thursday before a breakfast, a two-hour open track session, buffet lunch, back-to-back qualifying sessions, and two 1.5-hour races takes place on the Friday.
The Circuit Excel category has grown rapidly across Australia, and the SA Enduro now stands as one of the premier showcase events on the Excel calendar.
“With low costs, tight racing, and a community-first approach, it offers a rare chance for pros to return to their roots — or for fans to see their heroes in a completely different kind of race car,” Semler added.
Entry details will be made available soon.
