Police have invited car enthusiasts to put their skills to the test at their annual Beat the Blue fundraising event.
Police are calling for entries to an annual charity fundraiser that puts driving skills to the test for a good cause.Event organisers are looking for keen drivers ready to challenge the top NSW Highway Patrol drivers on a wet skidpan at Sydney Motorsport Park from 7pm on Saturday June 29.Police and car lovers start on opposite sides of a guitar-shaped course marked out in traffic cones on the wet and slippery surface, then race to see who completes a full lap first.
Event founder Sergeant Steven Planinic said car lovers could “test their driving skill against the best NSW highway patrol have to offer”.“This is a cheap way to have a bit of fun at a motorsport venue while testing your skill against NSW highway patrol officers in a safe environment.”After racing police, enthusiasts from the wider community participate in a shootout to find the fastest driver on the night.
“It doesn’t matter if you just love cars and have never even seen a racetrack or a regular in the pits, you don’t get many legit chances to challenge the cops and see if they have you covered,” he said.“But seriously, I do a couple of dozen Motorsport events every year, and this one I will never miss if I am lucky enough to be invited.
“It’s one of the most fun car events I have ever been a part of and if you get the opportunity to do it, you have to have a crack.”Proceeds go to the NSW Police Legacy Charity supporting the families of police officers who have been killed or injured.This year’s event will include elements designed to introduce children to driving.Kids will be able to take the wheel on a special course under adult supervision in a similar fashion to Motorsport Australia’s First Gear program.
James Stewart, director of motoring events specialists Driving Solutions, said: “it will be a great way to get young people involved”.Local politicians have fired up at the name of Alfa Romeo’s new car, forcing the maker into an expensive, last-minute backdown.An Australian survey surrounding a popular hobby suggests people spend more than $10,000 per year on the things they love, creating a $10 billion industry.
