Australian motorsport identity, Michael Patrizi and his Patrizicorse organisation have donated everything you need to start your motorsport career as a package for the inaugural Motorsport Ministries Charity Auction.
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 Hotel Ballroom. Meaning you can place your final bids from home or if you are a guest at the dinner.
This amazing package consists of a 36hp 125cc Vortex Tag-powered BirelART kart as well as a new Alpinestars race suit, rib vest, boots and gloves and race-ready Bell helmet.
If that is not enough, the package also includes a Karting Australia practice licence and a full day of expert tuition with Patrizi and young Supercars stars Broc Feeney and/or Matt Payne.

“Motorsport Ministries do an amazing job in Australian motorsport and we had no hesitation when we were asked to be involved in the Pirtek Legends Night,” said Patrizi.
“What we have offered up is everything you need to get started in the sport.
“The fact that Broc (Feeney) and Matt (Payne) have also offered up their time and expertise really adds to the package and gives it amazing exclusivity.
“BirelART is regarded as the Ferrari of karting and anyone buying this package will be off to a flying start in their career or creating an amazing recreational activity for themselves.”
The test day will be held at Ipswich Kart Club in Queensland at a date suitable for all stakeholders and Patrizicourse will arrange delivery to the highest bidder’s nearest Australian capital city.
PIRTEK Legend’s Night coordinator, Brett “Crusher Murray”, says that the unique karting package, including the one-on-one tuition, is valued in excess of $A20,000.
“We cannot thank Michael and Patrizicourse enough for their contribution to our inaugural PIRTEK Legends Night auction,” said Murray.
“The one question I have been consistently asked over the years is, ‘how do I get started in the sport?’ – well, here is your answer.
“I could not think of better gear or better teachers than what is on offer here and every cent raised goes to Motorsport Ministries.”
