Young Noongar student Lauchy Williams is blazing a trial in motorsport.

At just 16, the Boorloo-based racer has become the youngest competitor in the 600cc Supersport class for the 2026 Australian Superbike Championship (ASBK) and the first Indigenous racer in ASBK history, a distinction that makes him a world record holder in elite motorcycle racing.

Lauchy's journey began on a CRF125 in his sister's backyard before evolving into a disciplined pursuit of elite performance. His development spans supermoto training, extensive track time, and rapid progression through junior and state categories.

He is the first known Indigenous state champion road racer in Australian history, with major results including double WA state titles in the 150 Junior and 300 Production classes, a 150 Junior lap record at Collie Motorplex, and podium finishes in the TERRA Darwin 600cc SuperSport Championship.

In 2025, supported by Onyabike Adventures and Mintox Racing, he stepped onto a new Yamaha R6 and delivered immediate results.

"I feel as though I was born to race motorbikes. It's in my blood," Lauchy told National Indigenous Times.

"Racing for me is spiritual. I become one with the bike where nothing else matters. There's no other feeling like it.

"I am so happy that I have been able to win four state championships in the last two years. My ambition moving forward is to become the first Indigenous Australian Superbike Champion."

In 2026, Lauchy entered the national arena with Stop & Seal Racing for his debut ASBK season, marking a big moment for both youth and Indigenous representation in Australian motorsport.

Lauchy will compete across Australia's premier circuits as part of Stop & Seal Racing, the reigning No.1 team in the ASBK Supersport series, led by team boss Robbie Bolger.

He says his rise in the sport is driven by cultural pride, family influence, and thousands of hours of training.

With professional coaching, structured fitness programs, and the backing of Stop & Seal Racing, Lauchy is positioned not only to compete but to inspire. He is setting out to prove that Indigenous excellence belongs on the national and international motorsport stage, and beyond.

"I would like my success to inspire all young indigenous men and women to follow their dreams in life," Lauchy said.
