Variety Stars on Track Ride Day

  • Sandown Raceway 591-659 Princes Highway Springvale, VIC, 3171 Australia (map)

This is not a supersprint or a come‑and‑try day — it’s something much better.

Our Variety Stars on Track Day is all about giving back. It’s about creating joy and unforgettable memories for families and children who face the daily challenges of illness. For one incredible day, we’ll come together at Sandown Raceway to lift spirits, share smiles, and show the power of community.

What we need:

  • Drivers with a current Motorsport Australia Level 2 licence or above 
    If you do not have one, go here to to obtain your Level 2 licence.

  • Track‑worthy cars (road cars welcome!)
    A track-worthy car is a vehicle that is safe, reliable, and suitably prepared to be driven on a race track.  In practical terms, it usually means the car has sound mechanical condition (no fluid leaks, overheating, or reliability issues) and basic safety compliance (secure seats, seatbelts or harnesses, battery secured, no loose items) — check the Self Scrutiny form (linked below) for more information.

  • Cars must have passenger seats with seat belts or harnesses

  • Driver experience.
    Drivers must have driven Sandown at least once or be experienced on-track. Unfortunately, this event is not for those without track experience.

  • Spare helmets (in or out of racing date)
    Not mandatory, but appreciated if you can bring them.

  • Volunteers
    To help assist passengers and families. All volunteers MUST hold a current Working With Childrens Check. If you have not got one or yours does not include our club, please update or go here to obtain your WWCC. Then, let us know your commitment time and what area you will be best placed. If you can't help all day, that's totally fine! We appreciate any assistance you can give, for however long you can give it. 

Not driving? You can still be part of it!

  • Car display: Share your pride and joy with the crowd.

  • Photography and videography: Capture the magic of the day.

  • Sponsors and supporters: Help us make this event bigger, brighter, and more impactful.

Why join us?

Because this isn’t just another motorsport event — it’s a chance to give families a day they’ll never forget. A day filled with laughter, adrenaline, and kindness.
