Toowoomba's Will Brown, the 2024 Supercars champion, will be presented with the Keys to the Region in January 2025.
Toowoomba Regional Council today (December 10, 2024) gave the green light to Mr Brown, (pictured with the Mayor), receiving the civic honour at its December Ordinary Meeting.
Toowoomba Region Mayor Cr Geoff McDonald said the gesture recognised Will Brown's outstanding achievement on the racing track this year which saw him emulate the 1984 feat of Dick Johnson by featuring on the podium at each race across the Supercars season.
"Will Brown is a Toowoomba success story, whose passion for motor racing was ignited when a football injury at 13 saw him jump in a go-kart," Mayor McDonald said.
"His skill and tenacity saw him move through the ranks from Formula 4, Formula Ford, Toyota 86 Racing, Super2 Series, Touring Cars, to eventually landing in the highly prized V8 Supercars series.
