A brilliant day we called the Variety Club ‘Stars on Track’ - a high speed ride around the Sandown race track for lots of sick and underprivileged children and their families in conjunction with Variety - the childrens charity.

 

The day was only possible because of a huge contribution from volunteers, drivers with their cars and officials and our generous sponsors :

BMW Group Australia, Waverley BMW, Shannons Insurance, Wurth Australia, Grip Auto watches, Josco Australia, Evolve Technik, Bell Motorsport, Cup Car Engineering.

And especially Peter Knight, you are amazing.

Without you all we couldn’t have run such a wonderful event.

Thank you to Will Brown for coming down to Melbourne to join us on the day too, with thanks to Wurth. You were very generous with your time and are such a great ambassador for Supercars and Red Bull Racing.

We had over 120 kids and their families having the time of their lives with over 100 cars taking kids for rides.

 

As well as cars on track we had lots of amazing cars on display, including some of the "Variety Bash" participants in their wacky vehicles bound to raise a smile.

  

For the adults we had some great raffle prizes and proper hot laps.

Thank you to all the clubs and club members that came along to help on the day, you are amazing!

VFT, as always there helping out with flags, all the Variety people helping get kids in and out of cars.

It was huge!

We couldn’t have done better with the weather too, just a perfect Melbourne Autumn sunny day.

With all the costs of the event accounted for we have donated $9,000 to Variety Victoria to continue their amazing work with the kids too. Well done everyone for coming and making it such a success.

We will be back again next year bigger and better!
