Barbagallo V8 Supercars
The V8 Supercars was a community engagement event conducted by 13 BRC and supported by members from across 13 Brigade. The event was held at the Barbagallo Raceway over 3 days (9-11 May 08). The display was tailored to allow particular emphasis on the vehicle mechanic trade.
A competition was run each day where members from the community were given the opportunity to go into a draw to win a track ride in a 6 x 6 IIMV and register their interest to attend a unit tour.
All staff were given free entry to the event.
