Opportunity is everything.
Peter Bol knows that first-hand.

After moving to Australia from Sudan at 10, Peter found his way into sport with the help of people who gave him guidance, connections and access to opportunities he may not otherwise have found. Now he wants to pass that on.

Through the Beyond Bol Foundation, Peter is creating opportunities for young people from culturally and linguistically diverse communities to find their place in sport, build confidence and develop the skills and connections that can take them beyond it.

The Bathurst 1000 starts today! 161 laps of Mount Panorama, and the biggest weekend on the Australian motorsport calendar.

Every car on that grid is powered by a crew of engineers, mechanics and strategists. Every one of them needed a way in.

Walkinshaw TWG Racing is creating more of those pathways through the Walkinshaw Foundation Academy.

A foot in the door can change everything. Through its partnership with the Australian Sports Foundation, the Foundation has created 12 new roles across the racing business, helping more young people find their place in the world of motorsport and build real careers across the technical and commercial sides of the sport.
