Melbourne Grand Prix Qualifier – Trackside with a View

There’s something about Grand Prix weekend in Melbourne — it always delivers. This year was my fourth time attending, and somehow, it keeps getting better.

I was invited to the Saturday Qualifier by Agenxy, a company known for hosting some of the most elevated motorsport experiences — including their annual superyacht at the Monaco Grand Prix. I’ll be working with them in the lead-up to Monaco this May, supporting their marketing and sales strategy, and this event was the perfect way to kick off that partnership.

It was also my second year attending the Saturday event with Quintessentially, so it was great to return to familiar territory — this time with an even broader view of what’s happening in the space.

A Day Above the Track

I spent the day moving between a few of the top-tier suites — Quintessentially, Bullrush and Atlantic Group — each with their own take on hospitality. Think French champagne, curated cocktails, music, and guest appearances by past F1 drivers, all with a clear view of the track from above.

There’s something surreal about watching the race from that vantage point — close enough to feel the energy, high enough to take it all in.

Connecting with Women in Automotive

A standout part of the day was meeting and catching up with other women in the automotive space. It’s always a good reminder of how much talent and energy there is in this industry — and how valuable these kinds of networks can be. Conversations like those often lead to ideas, collaborations or just a better sense of community. It’s a space I genuinely enjoy being part of.

The new Louis Vuitton sponsorship also made its mark — a notable move for F1, and one that subtly shifted the tone of the event this year. The redesigned trophy and podium visuals didn’t go unnoticed either.

Looking Ahead... Monaco Grand Prix 2025

Now that Melbourne has set the tone, Monaco Grand Prix is next — and I’ll be sharing more in the coming weeks as things ramp up with Agenxy.

If you’re based in Australia and interested in joining the three-day experience aboard the superyacht in Monaco, I’ll be opening up a few spots through my local network. It’s an opportunity to experience the Grand Prix in a very different way — and one worth considering if you’re looking to connect business, lifestyle and motorsport in a unique setting.
