Episode 50 - Ben and Michael Kavich

Cancer is a disease that refuses to discriminate, and almost all of us have been profoundly affected by its impact on a loved one, a friend, or ourselves. While advancements in medical research provide incredible hope and earlier detection, funding these life-saving breakthroughs requires immense support. In this powerful episode of the Motor Dream Podcast, we explore how motorsport and cancer research powerfully intersect through Race For a Cure. Founded in 2016 by Sydney-based racing siblings Ben and Michael Kavich after Ben’s wife, Toula, was diagnosed with breast cancer, this incredible initiative has utilised the massive platform of the Hi-Tec Oils Bathurst 6 Hour to raise awareness and over $300,000 for vital breast cancer research.

This year, the team achieved the fairytale ending they had been chasing for a decade, claiming the outright victory at the Bathurst 6 Hour. It was an deeply emotional milestone, made even more poignant by their third co-driver, Tickford Racing's Tom Randle, who is a testicular cancer survivor himself. But the Kavich brothers aren't resting on their laurels after conquering Mount Panorama. We sit down with Ben and Michael to discuss their ultimate Bathurst triumph and their bold new chapter as they step out of their production car comfort zones and into the ultra-competitive TA2 Muscle Car Series—all while continuing their relentless drive to fund a cure.
