“We’re very excited about the QJC’s potential as an effective way to nurture aspiring road racers. This proven formula of combining on-track competition and off-track education, while streamlining expenses should work exceptionally well in state level road racing and we’re very proud to be bringing it to life in 2024.”

“We’ve always been passionate about creating new pathways for aspiring road racers to not only nurture and develop the fundamentals of race craft, but also building vital off-track skills that will hold them in good stead as they continue their careers domestically and internationally. In 2024, the first OJC graduate will be competing in the Moto3 world championship, and with the Queensland Junior Cup we now have another brilliant development program to foster our next wave of road racing superstars.”
