MOTOR CULTURE AUSTRALIA
Motor Culture Australia is Australia’s fastest growing premium motoring community offering exclusive events, discounts and giveaways to 125,000 + members.
Launched in August 2020, Motor Culture Australia was envisaged as an inclusive and safe community for car enthusiasts. The 22 year old founders, Tom McPherson and Thomas Fu, had observed negativity, exclusivity and toxic behaviour in the car scene and saw an opportunity to create a positive and friendly environment for all car lovers.
As young, budding car enthusiasts in Brisbane, Thomas and Tom had attended every local car event and meet up and had witnessed the toxic culture firsthand. Often drivers would drive dangerously or erratically, the events would create traffic bottlenecks and the police would show up. They wanted a different experience and knew that other car enthusiasts most likely felt the same way.
