Helping residents pursue their passions

Homestyle encourages residents to live their best life.

Homestyle Aged Care Clarendon Grange resident Ray Beckerley is crew chief for the Homestyle-sponsored Holden VH Commodore race car driven by Graeme Meer.

Ray, a well know car enthusiast and Clarendon Grange identity, approached Homestyle, to see if we would be interested in sponsoring the car.

Homestyle were delighted to be able to sponsor the car, especially given Ray’s involvement, as his passion was something they wanted to encourage and support, and the Homestyle Race Car was born.

While the season last year was interrupted due to COVID-19 restrictions, Ray has kept everyone in the loop regarding race results.

He attempted to host a drive day to allow some Homestyle residents and team members the chance to experience speeds of up to 280kmh. However the driver, Graeme, had to isolate over the weekend of the event due to COVID-19.

The second attempt at Sandown was a weekend race meet, starting on Friday with practice where again bad luck befell the team, and a crash in practice put the car out for the weekend.

Homestyle is delighted to be able to share in Ray’s passion.

Ray holds out hope for a drive day later in the year, where he says there would be a few surprises for each of the passengers, but he’s keeping tight-lipped about the white-knuckle adventure ahead.

Homestyle Aged Care has homes in Geelong and Melbourne.
