We’re incredibly excited to announce a very unique Drive Against Depression charity event, presented by @premcaraustralia and @uniquemotoring, featuring special guest John Bowe @johnbowejbr18
On Sunday 2nd August, JB will join us for an intimate Q&A, sharing stories from his remarkable racing career, his time developing some of Australia’s most iconic performance vehicles with Premcar (formerly Prodrive), his mental health journey, and the journey behind his new book.
In an incredibly generous gesture, JB and Premcar are donating 100% of the proceeds from every signed copy of his book sold on the day to Drive Against Depression.
The day has been carefully curated and includes:
• An exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of Premcar’s engineering facility.
• A live Q&A with JB, and other special guests.
• A scenic drive route personally selected by JB - one he regularly used during his vehicle testing and development days with Premcar/Prodrive.
• A dedicated two-course lunch at the beautiful @rochfordwines to finish the day.
This is a unique opportunity to experience Australian automotive engineering, hear firsthand from one of our greatest motorsport personalities, and connect with a passionate community while supporting better mental health outcomes.
Tickets are now live and strictly limited. Once sold out, no additional places will be released.
Secure your place today via the Events tab in the link in our bio, or via our website.
We can’t wait to share this special day with you.
