"The most exiting concept to hit Australian Motor sport this Millennium"

Welcome to the Australian Racing Team Site.

 I hope you enjoy your stay here.

'Stop the Presses' Just come to hand the Australian Racing Team is now signing Sponsors.

Due to the new addition of the Online Catalogue we have decided to start signing on Sponsors right now so all can take advantage of the huge savings on offer "Exclusive to Sponsors". Although it's still a way off before the racing starts, everyone can enjoy high quality products at cost price NOW.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who have taken part in this concept and for working along with us as we get underway as we need the support of all involved, for this venture to be a success.

Note: The Australian Racing Team will be donating $2.00 from each Sponsorship to the Queensland Cancer Fund.

Introduction

When we think of Motor Racing we think in terms of watching others having extreme fun on the race track.

With the Australian Racing Team you can think in terms of actual hands on experience.

When you sign up as a member of the Australian Racing Team you actually become a Sponsor and as such you will have an opportunity to be picked to actually race a "Scorpion racing car", a purpose built racing car manufactured by Hybrid Motor Sports. For more information on these cars please follow the link.

The way it works is upon joining the team for a nominal sponsorship fee you will be in the running for 1 of 120 packages which will run over the course of 3 days, 10 times a year. This will include training, practice and racing of a "Scorpion" with racing license, airfares and accommodation paid for. The team will consist of  12 Sponsors  each meeting.

There will be 6 cars in the team and all racing will be on the Gold Coast.

The package is as follows:

• 10 Training / Racing sessions per year. (February to November)
• Return Airfare to the Gold Coast for Sponsors chosen.
• Accommodation for Sponsors chosen and 1 Guest. (3 nights at the Seaworld Nara Resort, twin share with entrance to Seaworld all days, also the option to extend stay at Sponsors expense with discounted tariff)
• 2 days training at the Holden Performance Driving Centre with both Commodores and Scorpions. (for Sponsor only, although guests will be welcome to sit in on lectures and observe training)
• Half a Day racing at  the Queensland Raceway. We will have the track exclusively for the teams use.
• The top 12 drivers at the end of the year will be offered the opportunity to race in one round of the current series that the Scorpions are racing in for the following year.

We also have our  Associate Member format. Where you may not be interested in Sponsoring the team at this time, but you may be interested in utilising the online catalogue, signing up as an Associate Member is the way to go, this will be at a greatly reduced sign up fee, simply tick the appropriate box on the application form and your in business. If at a latter date you would like to sign on as  a Sponsor, simply contact us and we will advise you of what procedures you will need to take to do so.

And the winning sponsor is

The cut off point for Sponsors and Associate Members will be the 30 June. At this time 120 sponsors will be randomly selected to race in the next years competition.

There will be a cap of 12,000 sponsors per year which will make the odds of being selected around 100:1.

Note: The cap doesn't need to be reached for racing to commence, lowering the odds respectively.

This concept has something for everyone, as well as having the opportunity to race there are other benefits also.

I thank you for your time and hope to hear from you soon.

Kindest regards,

Wayne Chaffey

Team Manager
