Triple Eight driver Broc Feeney will be a star attraction at One Raceway, formerly known as Wakefield Park, with demonstration laps in current and former Triple Eight cars. The 21-year-old will drive his 2022 Triple Eight Holden ZB Commodore — which he raced to victory in Adelaide — and the current Gen3 Chevrolet Camaro at One Raceway on Saturday October 5.
Feeney will return to his family’s hometown of Goulburn, New South Wales, to feature in a demonstration display at Round 6 of the Australian Superbike Championship. This event will take place at the newly-opened bi-directional track, just one week before the Repco Bathurst 1000. This follows Cameron Hill’s recent demonstration lap at the venue in a Porsche.
Feeney will take to the track aboard his Camaro with his father, Paul, who will return to two wheels for this special event. The duo will be a sight to behold as they lap the circuit together.

The event promises to be a true celebration of motorsports, with Feeney returning to his roots and showcasing the latest in Supercars technology.
“I’m super excited to announce that we’ll be heading to Goulburn for the opening of One Raceway at the ASBK round,” Broc said. “Returning to Goulburn to do something cool for the community was an idea I’ve had since the start of the year, and with the reopening of One Raceway which holds so much history in the town, it was a perfect opportunity to get the team involved and have some fun.”
Feeney’s enthusiasm for this event is palpable, and his plan for the day is packed with fan-friendly activities. He will be setting lap times in both directions of the track, showcasing the unique characteristics of the new layout. The Bathurst 1000 cars will be on display for fans to admire, and Feeney will host a signing session, allowing fans to interact with the star driver.
Family Ties and a Look Ahead
The highlight of the day is expected to be Feeney’s demonstration lap with his father. The two will be making history as they take to the track together, showcasing the strength of family ties in the world of motorsports. This event will also provide a glimpse into the future, with Feeney showcasing his skills in the new Gen3 Camaro, a car that promises to revolutionize the Supercars championship.
Feeney has expressed his excitement about the event, saying, “There’s going to be some really cool things happening on the day. I’ll be setting lap times in both directions of the track, we’ll have our Bathurst 1000 cars on display for fans to see, I’ll host a signing session and will also do a demonstration lap with my dad who has so much history with the Australian Superbike Championship.”
The event promises to be a thrilling spectacle for fans of all ages, and a perfect warm-up for the upcoming Bathurst 1000. Feeney’s dedication to the sport and his passion for his hometown are evident in his commitment to this event. As he looks forward to tackling the Mountain the following weekend, he is sure to leave a lasting impression on Goulburn and its motorsports enthusiasts.
