There are so many stories in our sport…not just those that take home the silverware.
Trevor Sheumack has been a bit of a constant for decades in various forms of Motorsport but his story isn’t limited to just Australia.
His likeable nature and co-do approach to things saw him land roles with teams in Europe off the back of engineering his own cars at home. Learning valuable business lessons (outside of Motorsport) in his early 20’s that are still relevant now to being spellbound by rally cars in country NSW as a kid.
Hitchhiking stories in the UK as well as memories of the old Ford factory on Parramatta Road in Sydney. And putting it on the line for a karting spectacular at the Entertainment Centre.
