HyUndies first and second over finish line

MOTORSPORT CROSSING the finish line in first and second places at the recent endurance race at Sydney’s Motorsport Park is a thrill for the two Mansfield HyUndies teams but their motivation is always about the fund raising for Rare Cancers Australia. This dedication paid off with the HyUndies taking out the team award for most funds raised at the “Sydney Sheep Station Shootout” event held from March 8 to 9. It was an awesome effort by team HyUndies racing, raising an outstanding $1850 for Rare Cancers Australia with more than half of the funds collected at the event (at the time of the finish), according to team spokesperson Paul Allen. “They put in a great effort on the track as well bringing both cars home for a formation finish,” said Paul. In the 20-hour endurance race in their category which featured a 28-car field, HyUndies finished first and second in class, for the second year in a row, and sixth and seventh overall. “Pretty good achievement considering we are the lowest horse powered race cars in the field,” said Paul. “Well, done to all our supporters and followers; that’s a massive effort. “We are so proud." The HyUndies took out awards with car 68 – the most laps in class, and car 78 - second most laps in class. Also, third most laps FAHRT. Team members in car 68 were Tony Browne, Brett Smith, Brett Stevens and Mia Wadsworth. In car 78 there was Paul Allen, Al Seaton, Aaron Trecento and Kit Rundle. Paul thanked Motor Events Racing and all the volunteers who made this event possible and for keeping everyone safe. This success follows on from HyUndies being nominated as the second quarter team at the 2023 Sportsperson of the Year awards held last month at the Mansfield Golf Club. “What an honour to be amongst other elite sports people and teams in our wonderful Mansfield community," said team member Paul Allen. He told the audience that there is no financial benefit to the team when they compete, with more than $7000 raised so far which helps families with hidden costs. Unfortunately, rare and less common cancers kill more people than prostate and breast cancer combined according to Rare Cancers Australia.
