Dunlop Grid Kids soak up the action in Sydney
Eight young Sydney karters were treated to a weekend they won't forget at the Beaurepaires Sydney SuperNight.
Local karters Cameron, Jamie, Connor and Riley were four of eight young motorsport enthusiasts to step onto the grid in Sydney.
The kids featured on the grid for the opening rounds of the Repco Supercars Championship and Dunlop Super2 Series.
The opportunity comes as part of the Dunlop Grid Kids Program, in conjunction with Karting NSW.
Fans aged 12 to 15 can represent Dunlop on the starting grid as brand ambassadors.
The young fans were treated to behind-the-scenes access, from garage tours to team meet-and-greets.
They also met their favourite drivers and gained valuable insights into a live race event.
The young fans also stook on the grid before the Supercars and Super2 races in custom race suits holding Dunlop flags.
"I can't wait to be on the grid and on the podium," Connor said.
"My favourite driver is Nick Percat,” Riley added.
“I love his dedication and passion for the sport.”
The Dunlop Grid Kids Program is the first stepping stone on a development pathway for young motorsport enthusiasts.
The program provides the future talent of motorsport a glimpse into the Supercars paddock.
It comes as the Dunlop Grid Kids Program celebrates its 21st year at Mount Panorama, and Dunlop’s 21st year as the control tyre of Supercars championship.
