Mel brings over 40 years of elite motorsport and driver coaching experience,from Bathurst to international endurance racing,and will be driving the second lead car.
We’re pleased to continue our long-standing connection with Paul Stokell, a highly decorated Australian motorsport legend, 2-time Targa Champion, who remains closely involved, leading the field and providing expert coaching as he has in previous years, ensuring the same high standard returning guests know and trust.
Alongside them is your dedicated tour manager Derek Bode, ensuring every detail runs seamlessly from start to finish. Together, the team delivers personalised driver coaching throughout the event to maximise your performance and enjoyment.
Whether you’re joining us again or stepping into T4 for the first time, you’ll be welcomed into a close-knit group where camaraderie, adrenaline, and hospitality are all part of the ride. Your car can be transported to Melbourne, ready for your arrival. Or meet us in Geelong for a spirited convoy start to Tasmania.
