Racing Together is opening its doors to the next generation of Indigenous racing talent. If you’ve ever dreamed of a career in professional motorsport, this is your opportunity to turn that dream into reality.
What is Racing Together?
Racing Together is Australia’s first motorsport initiative dedicated exclusively to providing Indigenous youth with a structured pathway into professional racing. Since our inception, we’ve been breaking down barriers and creating opportunities for young Indigenous Australians who have the passion, commitment, and determination to succeed in one of the world’s most exciting sports.
Our program isn’t just about learning to drive fast—it’s about building complete racers. That means technical skills, race craft, physical fitness, mental preparation, and the life skills needed to succeed both on and off the track.
The 2026 Open Days
We’re kicking off our 2026 program with Open Days scheduled for 18th April 2026. These Open Days are your first step into the Racing Together family and your chance to experience what professional motorsport is really about.
During the Open Days, you’ll get hands-on track time with professional-grade racing equipment, direct mentorship from experienced racing professionals and coaches, safety briefings and introduction to motorsport regulations, assessment and feedback on your potential and areas for development, and a genuine look at what a career in motorsport involves.
Who Can Apply?
We’re looking for young Indigenous Australians who are passionate about motorsport. You don’t need prior racing experience, but you do need genuine enthusiasm and commitment. Our program is demanding, and we expect participants to give their best effort. Motorsport is physically demanding and requires quick decision-making under pressure. Success in racing doesn’t happen overnight, and we’re looking for people ready for the long haul.
Age requirements: Participants under 18 years of age will require parent or guardian consent.
The Application Process
Getting started is straightforward. Download the Entry Form, available for download here.
Complete all sections, including participant details, medical declaration, and consent forms. If you’re under 18, your parent or guardian must complete the consent section. Submit your completed application to Racing Together.
The form includes important declarations about your medical fitness, understanding of the risks involved in motorsport, and consent for participation. Make sure you read everything carefully and answer honestly. These declarations are there to keep everyone safe.
What Makes Racing Together Special?
This isn’t a one-off experience or a corporate publicity stunt. Racing Together has a proven track record of developing drivers who go on to compete at high levels of Australian motorsport. Our participants have secured podium finishes, championship points, and recognition within the professional racing community.
World-Class Support Network
You’ll be backed by some of the biggest names in Australian motorsport, including Triple Eight Race Engineering, one of Australia’s most successful racing teams, Motorsport Australia, the governing body for motorsport in Australia, Norwell Motorplex, our home track and training facility, and Supercheap Auto, providing equipment and technical support.
More Than Just Racing
Racing Together participants develop skills that extend far beyond the race track. You’ll gain technical knowledge, understanding of vehicle dynamics, race strategy, and mechanical systems. Physical conditioning with professional-level fitness and endurance training. Mental resilience in handling pressure, making split-second decisions, and bouncing back from setbacks. Teamwork and communication, working with engineers, mechanics, and team management. Media and presentation skills to represent yourself and your sponsors professionally.
Community and Culture
You’ll be joining a tight-knit community that understands where you come from and where you want to go. Racing Together isn’t just about individual success. It’s about building something bigger, creating opportunities for future generations of Indigenous racers, and showing young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander kids that they belong in motorsport.
Recent Success Stories
Our 2025 season saw Racing Together drivers achieve multiple podium finishes at our home track, with the team demonstrating the kind of performance that turns heads in the paddock. Our drivers aren’t just participating, they’re competing at the front of the field and earning respect from established teams and drivers.
In November 2025, Racing Together driver Kade Davey was awarded the prestigious Toyota GAZOO Racing Australia Kaizen Award, the first time an Indigenous driver has received this recognition. This is exactly the kind of breakthrough moment that Racing Together exists to create.
What Happens After the Open Days?
The Open Days are just the beginning. Participants who show the right combination of skills, attitude, and commitment may be invited to continue with Racing Together’s development program, which includes regular training sessions and track days, participation in competitive racing events, ongoing mentorship and skill development, support with licensing and regulatory requirements, and potential pathways to team racing positions.
