Damien Midgley and Adam Prewer are really pleased to announce that we're taking part in Shitbox Rally Winter 2026! This year, all the teams are driving their Shitboxes from Mildura to Townsville in June 2026. We will be driving our Hyundai Elantra, themed as Formula Onekers that will be Auctioned off after the Rally.
Shitbox Rally is the largest community lead fundraiser for Cancer Council in Australia and is now in its 14th year. Part of the participation is that all teams have to raise a minimum of $5,000 but most teams raise well above this amount as you can see with the Winter 2026 rally target set at $2,000,000 plus. Over the 16 years to Date the Shitbox Rally has raised over $58,000,000.
These funds go to Cancer Council and we are extremely proud to be doing our part to support such a worthy charity. The fundraising is the hard part, so any donation you can give is greatly appreciated. Please make sure to follow our progress via this page and the blog post below or jump onto Facebook or Instagram and follow us there.
In Loving Memory of, Elaine Prewer (Grandmother) Darren Radford (Father-in-law) Pamela McCulloch (Grandmother).
Formula Onekers are fundraising for Cancer Council
They're doing what!?
Shitbox Rally is a 7-day challenge like no other. Participants drive cars worth no more than $1,500 through some of Australia's most stunning (and often rugged) landscapes, all in support of cancer research. It's not a race — it's a challenge and more importantly, a celebration of the power of community.
Yes, the cars break down, and yes, there are plenty of unexpected twists along the way, but that's all part of the fun.
The rally is designed to be a colourful and unpredictable experience, where teams travel in small groups, helping each other along the way.
And when the day's drive ends, we gather around the campfire, share stories, and reflect on the day's achievements.
This event brings together people who have been impacted by cancer in different ways — whether it's through their own battles or through loved ones. Together we'll make memories that last a lifetime while supporting the fight against cancer.
