Mason Harvey

This episode on Behind the Sport, we sit down with Western Australia’s rising star Mason Harvey. At just 20 years old, Mason has already claimed back-to-back WA Pro Saloon Car State Championships, dominated the Saloon Car Nationals at Wanneroo Raceway, and now he’s making waves nationally in the Battery World Aussie Racing Cars Super Series.

We talk through his journey from growing up in a racing family — with father Clint Harvey a former Australian Saloon Car Champion — to his breakthrough national victories, including a maiden race win in Tasmania and a thrilling podium performance at his home round in Perth.

Mason also shares insights on his stunning debut in the First Focus Radical Cup Australia, where he stole the spotlight with a round win at Sandown that has shaken up the championship fight.

From state champion to national contender, Mason Harvey’s rise is one of the standout stories in Australian motorsport right now — and we’ve got the inside line.
