Guess who puts the Super into V8 Supercars?
MTAA Super is a proud sponsor of Australia’s racing series,
the V8 Supercars.
As the superannuation fund for the motor trades industry,
it’s probably not surprising that MTAA Super follows the
series just as closely as many of our members do.
Just as important is keeping the peace… MTAA Super also
sponsors both the Holden Racing Team (HRT) and Ford
Performance Racing (FPR) team.
With our support of the series comes an opportunity for
our members to get up close and personal with their
favourite racing team and drivers.
The 2010 Workshop Apprentice Showdown is
now open
Engaging with young people in the motor trades and
encouraging them to plan for a financially secure future is
one of the main reasons MTAA Super is involved with the
V8 Supercars. Thanks to our sponsorship, we are able to
offer senior apprentices the incredible opportunity to work
alongside their favourite racing team.
As part of the 2010 Workshop Apprentice Showdown, two
lucky winners will spend a week in Melbourne that will
hold life-long memories for them. Both HRT and FPR, in
conjunction with MTAA Super, are offering an apprentice
the chance to tour their workshop facilities and experience
the thrill of being involved with either team at the L&H 500
Phillip Island race weekend.
Apprentices are simply required to tell us, in 25 words
or less, why they would like to win this experience. The
most compelling and deserving answers will be awarded
the prize.
Entries are now open and will be accepted up until 6
August 2010. If you know a motor trades apprentice
(Certificate III or above), please encourage them to enter
this exciting competition. Further details can be found at
the MTAA Super website: mtaasuper.com.au
Last year, Nick lived out his Race Team Dream
2010 is the second year MTAA Super has offered senior
apprentices the chance to win this once-in-a-lifetime race
team experience.
Nick Adams from Echuca, in regional Victoria, was the
inaugural winner. His submission was chosen from entries
that came in from all over Australia.
“I’ve never won anything before,” says Nick, who spent
the best part of a week with the Holden Racing Team in
September 2009. Nick was 18 and a third-year apprentice
when he won the prize, and impressed all at HRT with his
commitment and enthusiasm.
“It was great to have Nick join the Holden Racing Team for
the duration of the 2009 L&H 500 endurance event at
Phillip Island,” reflects Rhett Beere, marketing manager at
Walkinshaw Racing.
“He has a great work ethic and displayed enthusiasm and
common sense at all times – these are certainly qualities
that we look for in young team members.”
Nick has some good advice for anyone dreaming about
winning the competition. “If you are an apprentice and
thinking about entering, I’d say give it a go. You never
know what could happen!”
In 2010, there will be two chances to win, with Ford
Performance Racing also offering a place with its team for
the L&H 500 at Phillip Island.
Chances to win free V8 Supercars passes
With the 2010 V8 Supercars season comes an exciting set
of prizes, including exclusive race-day passes.
Don’t miss your chance to get trackside and experience the
V8 Supercars first hand. Multi-day race passes will be won
for the following three high-profile race meetings: L&H 500
Phillip Island in September, Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000
in October and Sydney Telstra 500 in December.
All you have to do is tell us in 25 words or less who your
favourite V8 Supercars driver is, and why. The most creative
answers will win. Entries can be submitted at
