The event featured road race mentoring and coaching sessions with 13 young superstars from the MRRDA series and provided an opportunity for the juniors to receive first hand mentoring advice from likes of Craig Lowndes, Kevin Magee, Glenn Allerton and Steve Richards. A number of up-and-coming stars of the sport participated in the event, including three kids selected for the 2012 Red Bull rookies tryout in Europe and Sam Clarke, who was awarded 2012 Philip Island Moto3 wildcard.

Aussie Superbike star, Glenn Allerton who made the trip from the previous days Queensland ASBK round said, “The event was really enjoyable and it was good to give something back to the younger guys who are coming through.” “You can see how hungry the juniors are and there’s definitely a lot of talent there. I really enjoyed the day and it was a lot of fun with ‘Richo’ and Lowndsy on the track, overall a really great day and hopefully they can put on more events like these in the future,” Mr Allerton said. Two times Bathurst 1000 winner Steve Richards also showed his support for the event and motoDNA’s approach to track and classroom coaching sessions. “I think this motoDNA program is fantastic. Every young person in whatever sport they do needs a bit of a periscope to see where the sport goes, so any programs can be put upfront for young riders or drivers can only help their development to potentially get the best people involved in the sport,” Mr Richards said. Casey Stoner and Will Davison also attended, hanging out in the pits enjoying the relaxed atmosphere.
