Tabitha is one of thousands of fans across the country expected to present their fathers with a ticket or two in a chance to win one of the greatest prizes for fans in world motorsports.
Pirtek has teamed up again with the sports’ biggest stakeholders to create the fifth annual Ultimate Repco Bathurst 1000 experience where the winner and their guest will be treated as VIP Super guests at the “Great Race”.
One of the many highlights of four-day spectacular will be waving the green flag to start the Great Race on Sunday, October 12.
Fans can buy their AUD $20 tickets for a chance to win this once in a lifetime experience at www.ultimatemotorsportprize.com with all proceeds being donated to the Peter Duncan Neurosciences Research Unit at St Vincent’s Hospital.
“Each year we all battle to find our fathers an appropriate gift for Father’s Day, but the Ultimate motorsport Prize raffle has me covered,” said Tabitha, who has naming rights sponsorship from Pirtek on her Formula Ford in 2025.
“I know Dad has been to Bathurst plenty of times before, but never like this and, ironically, I think he would probably enjoy the whole experience.
“It is rare that dad gets to play ‘fan’ at the racetrack and I think winning this prize would be the absolute best way to enjoy the Repco Bathurst 1000 weekend as a spectator.”
While Marcos might have taken pole for the Bathurst 1000 at his first attempt in 2001, a win at the Great Race eluded him before his retirement from Supercars competition.
“I have never seen anything quite like this raffle in world motorsports,” said Marcos.
“Seriously, I doubt there is anyone who had the chance to do all this cool stuff at Bathurst, apart from the four previous Ultimate Bathurst raffle winners.
“I know Tabitha is going to ‘surprise’ me with some Father’s Day tickets, but I am also going to grab some for my dad Ross, who has not been to Mt Panorama since my last race there in 2005.
“At the end of the day someone has to win it and we enter the raffle knowing that all the cash goes to an amazing cause which is at the heart of Pirtek founder Peter Duncan.”
Pirtek CEO, Mark Devitt, said he was looking forward to seeing a spike in ticket sales this week with fans buying entries for their father on Sunday.
“Not that anyone needed an excuse to buy some extra tickets, but Father’s Day is a good one,” said Devitt.
“The great thing is that if you buy your dad some tickets and he does manage to win, surely you would have to be at the top of his list to attend the event as his guest?
“Forget the ties and socks this year, buying some tickets in the Ultimate Bathurst Motorsport Prize Raffle will even save you a trip to the shops.”
