How does ADS Work?
As motorsport is out of reach to most people due to the huge costs involved, we exist to provide an alternate pathway for anyone to have an opportunity to make it in motorsport. As part of our program you will drive real race cars on Australia’s premier circuits while competing to win life changing prizes which are judged by well known race drivers.
Our Journey
From a Nissan Pulsar in a driveway, ADS has grown rapidly to now having a fleet of 13 race cars including an Audi R8 LMS and a V8 Supercar.
We have over 700m2 of workshop space, a 6 car race transporter and over 10 full time staff. It’s been a massive journey and we look forward to continuing to grow.

Jaie's Story
Jaie Robson won ADS in 2016 and received one round in the Aussie Racing Cars as his prize. He had limited racing experience before hand only racing karts and a couple of rounds in the Nissan Pulsar series.
Jaie continued to race Aussie Racing Cars in 2017 with support from ADS and was rookie of the year with 8 race wins. This year Jaie stepped up to Australian GT and won on debut in the Aussie Driver Search Mercedes AMG GT3.
He then landed a co-drive in the next round with David Reynolds in the same Mercedes before swapping cars to the ADS owned Audi R8 LMS which he put on pole at Sandown in Australian GT.
