The inaugural Ultimate Indy 500 Motorsport Prize raffle was an enormous success this year with Brisbane fans Brent and WendyL’Amie enjoying the trip of a lifetime.
Tickets for the 2025 event are on sale and the raffle will be drawn at the end of February 2025.
As part of the inaugural Motorsport Ministries charity event, PIRTEK have paid for and donated 100 tickets for the auction. The tickets have a retail value of $2000.
The auction is being hosted by Lloyds Auctions and will be a part of the inaugural PIRTEK Legends Night, which will pay tribute to Dick Johnson at the JW Marriott Gold Coast Resort & Spa on Friday October 25 in conjunction with the Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500 weekend.
The items will remain in place until the PIRTEK Legends Night goes live at 9pm (AEST) on October 25 with Lloyds simulcasting live from the JW Marriott Ballroom. Meaning you can place your final bids from home or if you are a guest at the dinner.
The cash paid for the raffle tickets will go directly to Motorsport Ministries, but PIRTEK has already ensured the Peter Duncan Neuroscience Research Centre at St Vincent’s Hospital in Sydney will also benefit by paying for the tickets in advance – All we have to do is put the winning bidder’s name on them.
The winners of the Ultimate INDY 500 Motorsport Prize raffle will receive return economy flights, four nights accommodation, tickets, merchandise, pit lane access, police escort to the track, $US1000 spending money and meet and greets with some of the sport’s biggest names, including former Supercars champion Scott McLaughlin.
They will also be personally hosted by 2016 PIRTEK Team Murray team owner, Brett “Crusher” Murray who will open many more doors along the way.
This is an opportunity for someone to buy 100 tickets in the raffle, which have a retail price of AUD$2,000.
Murray, who is also coordinator of the PIRTEK Legends Night, said buying the 100 tickets would provide the winning bidder with a serious chance of winning one of the world’s great fan prizes.
“The winners of this year’s inaugural Indy 500 raffle had an incredible time and there is no reason that can’t be repeated in 2025,” said Murray.
“Buying the 100 tickets would provide an incredible donation to Motorsport Ministries, but also give the winning bidder a serious shot at winning an unforgettable ‘bucket list’ experience.”
