Morgan Park Madness! Young Riders Shine in Round 3 of the 2025 bLU cRU Oceania Junior Cup

Warwick, QLD – Round three of the 2025 bLU cRU Oceania Junior Cup (OJC) delivered a spectacular weekend of racing at Morgan Park Raceway from June 13–15, as 19 young riders showcased their talent and determination on the technical 12-turn circuit.

The result boosted Curmi into a tie for fourth in the standings, matching Hunter Charlett on 124 points.
