: Australiaโs FIRST, BIGGEST and BEST Hyundai Excel Endurance race meeting returns to Queensland Raceway at the end of September, and this time, itโs going GLOBAL.
The 2025 Nankang World Excel Enduro not only doubles as Round 4 of the 2025 Nankang Queensland Excel Cup โ the start of the second-half of the championship โ but also serves as the headline act of the third Queensland Racing Drivers Championship (QRDC) event of 2025, on Festival of Motorsport weekend at the paperclip.
Now in its 11th year, this marquee event brings together the best Excel racers in Queensland, who then engage the services of a whole host of drivers from other state-based racing categories, and even some of the biggest names from the upper echelons of Australian Motorsport, and a wide-range of national level categories, to perform those vitally important co-driver duties.
Former winners of this race include; current Repco Supercars Championship leader, Broc Feeney, as well as Nash Morris, 2023 Toyota 86 champion, Ryan Casha, and rising TA2 star, Alice Buckley, just to name a few.
This annual, keenly anticipated race meeting remains the showpiece, signature event of the Queensland Excel Cup season, and carries with it more weight than ever before in 2025, with it counting as a championship, points paying round for the series regulars.
Put simply, the role the co-drivers have to play, on the last weekend of September, is more important than ever before, especially if they happen to be driving alongside a prospective championship contender.
The format of this event has undergone a fair bit of change since its inception in 2014, but the two-race format, first introduced in 2024, remains unchanged for 2025.
After extending the race distance to 300km (96 laps) in 2023, organisers opted to split that down the middle in 2024, running two 150km races instead, with a short break in-between.
That short turnaround has been eliminated for 2025, with the first 48-lap race now scheduled for the Saturday afternoon, while the second will remain a feature of the Sunday program, and thatโs the most significant year-on-year change to the event structure.
In further good news for the exposure and growth of this iconic event, the addition of dedicated, and comprehensive broadcast media coverage will ensure that teams and drivers will be able to showcase their product to family, friends, and sponsors, while fans of the category at large wonโt have to be trackside to have the best seat in the house.
The Nankang Queensland Excel Cup has engaged the services of the Ipswich-based production company, West Bremer Media, to showcase this prestigious event, in sound and vision, LIVE, EXCLUSIVE & FREE, to a worldwide audience, via their Facebook and YouTube platforms.
Coverage will be fronted by anchor, Zak Caban, whoโs no stranger to this paddock, having commentated the series from 2017-2019.
Caban will also lead the play-by-play commentary, as West Bremer Sport presents commercial free coverage of every on-track session for the Korean pocket rockets.
Category manager, Brett Peters, welcomed the announcement of the live broadcast, as the countdown to the final weekend of September ramps up.
"2025 is going to be our biggest and best enduro yet, and I can't wait. Not only is West Bremer Sport broadcasting the event via their YouTube and audio channels, but we have several more "star" co-drivers attending than previouslyโ, said Peters.
He continued, "For a couple of years, the drivers and crew have loved calling our annual event the โWorld Excel Enduroโ, and now, thanks to the support from Nankang Tyres Australia, and West Bremer Sport, anyone, anywhere in the world, can watch our fabulous racing."
West Bremer Sportโs coverage of the Nankang Motorsport Excel Enduro will be exclusive and extensive, commencing at 12pm AEST, on Friday, September 26, and continuing across the weekend, with visual coverage commencing on Saturday, September 27.
Full broadcast details and information will be released closer to the event, including confirmation of the entry list, and the star co-driver signings that go with it.
To celebrate the return of to the platforms of West Bremer Radio, your Home of Sport in has dug into the archives, and will revisit the last time they covered the Peters Motorsport Promotions Excel Cup Enduro (audio only), with a full replay of the 2019 EFS 4x4 Accessories 170, which was run and won on the 14th and 15th of September that year, on a weekend in which the category shared top billing with the Australian Formula Vee National Challenge, which was being staged at the paperclip for the first time in 18 years.
Youโll be able to re-live all the drama and excitement of that event, from 12pm AEST, on Sunday, September 21, via West Bremer Sport, which you can listen to, for FREE, via the website, and FREE app.
