Sponsorships and events in Queensland

RACQ has a proud tradition of supporting the community through a range of important sponsorship initiatives in Queensland and our iconic car enthusiast event, MotorFest.

Whether it’s in the air through the RACQ Choppers and Rescue Network, at some of Queensland’s largest annual events like the Ekka or providing everyday support in our local communities, RACQ supports Queenslanders.
