On the V8 side, fans will get the chance to meet team owner and driver of the #25 Fujitsu Ford Jason Bright, driver of the #26 IRWIN Racing Falcon Alan Gurr, as well the team’s endurance drivers for Sandown and Bathurst Adam Macrow and Warren Luff.

The Open Day will feature tours of the facility, including the race transporters, engine shop, sub assembly, fabrication, paint and panel, machining and engineering.

Fans will have the chance to buy merchandise and used race panels from the V8 Supercars and rally cars.

The day will include displays from team sponsors as well as various Ford and go-kart clubs.

A BBQ, face painting and other children’s activities will keep everyone in the family occupied.

“It is the second time we’ve opened the doors to the public, after a very successful event last year, ” said Bright.

“This will be an excellent opportunity for not only fans, but I’m sure the wider community who will enjoy looking inside a professional racing organisation.

“This is a great time to hold our Open Day. The following weekend is a very busy time for us with the all-important Sandown 500 for the V8s, plus we have the Great Lakes Rally in New South Wales.

“Our business relies on fan support and this is why the Britek Motorsport Open Day is an excellent way to give back to our supporters. “
