Laura Byrnes

Hi! I'm Laura Byrnes - first generation race car driver and only 150cms tall. I currently compete in Dirt Track Late Models in Western Australia. I have been a stunt driver/stunt double for a popular female Australian Artist and have been on air talent for Channel 7, Chanel 9 and Chanel 10. In 2020/21 I was named Rookie of the Year in my first season of Late Models, and finished 9th Overall in the Pro Dirt Series (out of 36). I started racing at 11 years old so have over 17 years experience in racing cars and the mechanics behind them. This places me in a unique position in my social media as my target audience is engaging with females to increase female engagement within the automotive sector - however majority of my followers are still male, so my content is crafted to appeal to both audiences. Not just limited to cars, I have motorbikes, a gokart, skateboard - pretty much anything adrenaline related, I'm there! My motto is "Stay Fearless" and this encompasses everything I do. Look fear in the face and do it anyway! #StayFearless
