The Series

Why Circuit Excel is worth backing

A real, well-supported grassroots category with a proven pathway, and a cost of entry that keeps it about the driver.

Cars on the Bathurst grid

The 2025 Circuit Excel Bathurst Challenge fielded 51 cars, with 42 in 2026. Full grids and close racing.

Supercars pathway

Supercars driver Broc Feeney started in Excels. The Dunlop Destiny program offers an under-25 prize package worth $12,000.

Control-spec by design

Control Supashock suspension and Dunlop tyres. CERA describes it as one of the cheapest ways into circuit racing, so results come from driving.

Real media exposure

A Series X3 NSW round at Race Sydney in 2023 had Stan Sport live and Nine (9Gem and 9Go) coverage.

Sources: Motorsport Australia, CERA, Auto Action, WhichCar, Shannons SpeedSeries. 2027 calendar and broadcast details are still to be confirmed.

2027First Full Circuit Season

Flynn Gerard is a 15-year-old driver (turning 16 in November) and a 23-time race winner in rental karting, preparing to enter Circuit Excel for the 2027 season with Series X3 NSW — his first season of wheel-to-wheel circuit racing. The plan for 2027 is simple: buy a race-ready Hyundai Excel in December, sit the Motorsport Australia Circuit Licence test once he is eligible, and build race craft through club test days ahead of Round 1.

That includes the unglamorous side of the build too — mowing lawns, taking on weekend work, and pitching businesses directly for support — because in a grassroots category like this, the effort off-track is what earns the laps on it. Circuit Excel is a control-spec category by design: sealed engines and control tyres across the field, which puts the emphasis squarely on driving standard and consistency rather than budget. That's precisely what makes it the right proving ground for the goals below.

Trained By

Jensen Shearer

Flynn's race craft is being shaped directly by a driver currently competing at the top of Australian GT4 — not a coach one step removed from it, but someone in the car, in the same season, right now.

Current Monochrome GT4 Australia driver Jensen Shearer is helping develop Flynn's race craft ahead of his first Circuit Excel season. Jensen competes as a rare solo entry in the #46 RENNEN Motorsport Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS CS — running full stints himself where most of the field splits driving duties between two drivers per car. His own pathway from karting through Formula 3 into GT4 (click the stages below) gives Flynn direct access to experience from someone actively competing at the professional level, right now.

Stage 01 — Karting

Like almost every driver on a professional grid, Jensen's career started in karting — the entry point where raw car control, reaction speed, and race sense get built long before horsepower becomes the main factor. Karts have no traction control, no driver aids, and razor-thin margins between drivers, which is exactly why it's treated as the foundation for every category above it. It's where a driver first learns to read a corner and manage wheel-to-wheel traffic under pressure — the same instincts that carry straight through to single-seaters, and now to GT4.

Stage 02 — National Formula 3

From karting, Jensen progressed into national-level Formula 3 — open-wheel, high-downforce single-seater racing with no bodywork to lean on and very little forgiveness for mistakes. It's widely regarded as one of the toughest proving grounds in motorsport precisely because the cars are unforgiving and the fields are stacked with drivers chasing the same limited number of seats higher up. That single-seater background is a big part of why the switch into GT racing came with real racecraft already built in, rather than starting from scratch.

Stage 03 — Monochrome GT4 Australia, 2026

At 21, Jensen made the deliberate switch from open-wheel single-seaters into closed-cockpit GT racing, choosing Monochrome GT4 Australia as the platform to build a GT career on — drawn to the scale of the events, the exposure, and the pathway it opens up into GT World Challenge Australia or the Porsche ladder through Sprint Challenge and Carrera Cup. He's running as a rare solo entry in the #46 RENNEN Motorsport Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS CS, carrying full stints himself against a field mostly made up of two-driver crews — see his season results below.

Queensland Raceway

P3 — Podium

Charged through the field from down the order to take third, in a category run largely by two-driver crews.

P4 — Points Finish

Ran inside the top four outright for the weekend against full-time professional line-ups.

Where This Is Going

The goal, and the dream

Every category has a different job to do. Circuit Excel is where the fundamentals get built — the categories after it are where they get tested.

2027 Season Goal

A class podium

The realistic, earned target for a first full season: at least one class podium finish in Circuit Excel. Not a given in a control-spec category where the whole field runs equal machinery — which is exactly what makes it worth something. It's a marker of racecraft and consistency, not budget.

The Pathway

Built one category at a time

Circuit Excel is the foundation, not the destination — race craft, car control, and tyre management learned on a level grid, under Jensen Shearer's GT4 mentorship. Results here are what open the door to the next step up in production or GT-based categories as experience and backing grow.

A Partnership That Can Grow

WEC / GT3

2027 starts with Circuit Excel in NSW. The long-term ambition is to progress through increasingly competitive categories — the FIA World Endurance Championship, GT3 machinery — and to bring the partners who help build FGR along for that journey, not leave them behind at the first step.

The Build

Road to Round 1

Every stage of getting from a club membership to the grid — funded by weekend work and partners coming on board along the way.

Fund the build

Now – November

Lawn mowing, sponsorship outreach, and weekend work stacking toward the car and safety gear.

Questions

Common questions

Why sponsor a 15-year-old?

Circuit Excel is built for new drivers, and a young driver brings fresh audiences on TikTok and Instagram. Early partners grow with the driver and get founding-partner visibility.

What if dates or the calendar change?

Round 1 is targeted for February but the 2027 calendar is still to be confirmed. Deliverables are written around the season, not a single date.

Can we pay in product or services?

Yes. In-kind support is valued at retail and matched to a tier. Gear, parts, services and vouchers all work.

How will I know it worked?

You get a recap after every round showing where your branding appeared, a season report, and optionally a discount code to track customers.

Do I need to be in motorsport?

No. Most local businesses on a grassroots grid aren't. It's about reaching an engaged audience and backing a young local driver.

Where's the car?

The plan is to buy a race-ready Hyundai Excel in December. Partner branding is applied before Round 1.
