From 'Budget Beginnings' to 'Event Winnings', Mansfield's little Hyundai Excel cars are ready to race

Motorsport MANSFIELD is well known for its car enthusiasts and car clubs For the budget racer however, there is Motor Events Racing – Australia's largest cheap car endurance circuit racing events. Motor Events Racing dubs their events as "Not all that serious, and a hell of a lot of fun". "Motor Events Racing gives you and your mates the ability to compete in social, no pressure motor racing at an affordable level," a statement from their website said. "Our events range from four plus hours, up to 25 plus hours in length over single or multiple days. "Some events run into the night and some have multiple track layouts during the course of the event." Mansfield has two teal coloured, Captain Underpants logoed, super–fast HyUndies Race Cars. Car 68's four drivers are: Stuart Wadsworth from Amongst the Sticks Catering and Breathtaker, Brett Smith from Buller Ski Lifts, Tony Browne formally Black Cat Engineering, and Brett Stevens from Mansfield Hire. The fantastic Mia Wadsworth also drives in Car 68 giving the men the much needed female flare on track. Car 78's four drivers are: Paul Allen, your local RACV man and Audio–Visual guru formally of Bi–Rite, Kit Rundle from High Country Scaffolding, Steve Ward our local Mansfield Gym owner and fitness Mentor, and Aaron Trecento, the junior driver keeping the old fellas on schedule. In the pits you will find Steve Trecento from Delatite Mowers and Chainsaws, fixing everything the drivers break, and Michelle Tremellen of Mansfield Mobile Phone Repairs on the headset communicating with the drivers and trying to make sure everything runs to schedule. These mates self–fund everything they do including entrance and accommodation fees, food, and fuel. They also pay for the maintenance, tyres, brake pads, spare parts, and race fuel for the cars. There is no prize money for the competition but drivers get a very nice trophy from Motor Events Racing. So why do people compete if there is no prize money? Motor Events raise funds to help support people and families living with Rare Cancers through Rare Cancers Australia. Racing teams rely on locals supporting locals and their followers on social media. HyUndies Racing team has an official Page on Facebook, and also a HyUndies Racing Group open to the public for support and comments. Our next events are the Winton Rumble at Winton Raceway in June 2023, and then the MelonAid at The Bend in November 2023.
