BYR Assist

Bendigo Youth Racing’s non-competitive presence at a number of events, including the 2003, 2004 & 2005 RACV Energy Breakthrough & 2005 AIPP has seen the creation of BYR Assist . This initiative involves squad members assisting teams from Bendigo Senior Secondary College, Flora Hill SC and Eaglehawk SC in the lead up to their events.

BYR Assist focuses on helping the students learn, expand their knowledge and improve their engineering skills – in conjunction with the teaching staff at those schools. Bendigo Youth Racing is increasing awareness, reaching out for new members and encouraging young people already involved in this growing sport.
