ABOUT THE CHAMPIONSHIP
Automotive Events Management is proud to announce the fifth year of their motor sport championship in WA, aimed at the grass-roots level of the sport.
Named in memory of the late Biante Model Cars founder Trevor Young, the Biante Trevor Young Championship incorporates the series of Superkhana events and the AEM Touring Road Rallies run during the year.
The trophies to be awarded at a presentation function feature some of the wonderfully high quality model cars that Biante manufactures and imports.
The events are open to all people and cars, and are designed to be as well suited to novices as the experts. Prizes will be awarded in several categories, as well as outright. There is no cost to be a part of the Championship.
Bev Young co-founder Biante Model Cars was keen to have the company involved, Weve had a long association with Automotive Events Management and are very pleased to be supporting this championship. Its a great opportunity to remember Trevor and be connected with events which are open to every driver, not just the top-notch racers.
AEM Principal Paul Blank was equally enthusiastic, saying "It is fitting to honour Trevor Young, who was such a strong supporter of motor sport, especially with classic cars with this new Championship. The concept also adds a new dimension to our calendar of events through the year."
