The Phillip Island Auto Racing Club (PIARC) has today announced it will be waiving membership fees for all existing members for the 2020/2021 season due to the ongoing impacts of Coronavirus.

One of the Country’s preeminent car clubs, PIARC facilitates access to the iconic Phillip Island Grand Prix circuit as well as other venues throughout Victoria and has long been seen as a breeding ground for the nation’s top officials.

PIARC President Warren Reid said they wanted to ensure all members still had a place in the club regardless of the situation they found themselves in due to the COVID-19 crisis.

“The Philip Island Auto Racing Club provides access to motorsport for its members and right now many of them suffering financial hardship due to the Coronavirus pandemic,” Reid said.

“Extraordinary times call for extraordinary actions and this is one way we can show our members we are there supporting them. Family looks after family,” he continued.

The recent announcements by the Federal and State Governments, backed by Motorsport Australia, will see motorsport return to Australian circuits in coming months.

PIARC organisers are busy planning events for the remainder of 2020 with the first event, the Victorian Supersprint Championship and PIARC Sprint to be held the weekend of 27 – 28 June at the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit.

“Throughout this period of shut down the PIARC committee has been busy working on plans to get our members back racing and officiating again and we are excited to be able to welcome everyone back to Phillip Island in a safe way soon,” Reid said.

“Motorsport Australia has a detailed operational plan in place to allow motorsport to return and we are working through the necessary changes to our processes and facilities now,” he continued.

“Anyone that has any questions about how we are safely going to return to racing can either contact us or reach out to Motorsport Australia for further information.”

Members do not need to reapply for their membership and should receive their new cards in the mail shortly.
