One man has had his dreams come true after he found out out his charity will be featured on McLaren's car at this weekend's F1 race in Melbourne.
Gamilaraay man Corey Tutt is the founder of Indigenous charity Deadly Science and the 2020 NSW Young Australian of the Year.
Now, his logo that he made on a napkin in a pub one day will be seen by people across the world.
His charity provides science books and early reading material to remote Australian Indigenous communities.
This F1 season, McLaren sponsor Smartsheet is donating their space on the car to not-for-profit organisations.
After a surprise LinkedIn message, Mr Tutt's charity was one of the lucky organisations offered a spot.
"I got a message two days before my wedding and they proposed it but I said 'not right now I am getting married' but he said no this is a call you are probably going to want to join. Thankfully I did," he said.
F1 cars are usually occupied by some of the world's biggest brands that spend millions of dollars to be on there.
Instead, the advertising space is being used "to tell the world about work that matters."
"This has never happened before. This is the first time in history that an Aboriginal organisation around the world has ever been on a F1 car," said Mr Tutt.
The charity relies on donations to provide resources to over 180 communities across Australia.
After McLaren also handed over their social media account with 9.1 million followers so the story of Deadly Science could be told, the charity is already gaining attention from the public ahead of the race.
"Deadly Science doesn't get much government funding and we rely on donations. We work with 180 communities so every donation matters. Although this doesn't have any financial benefits just getting our name out there and the work out there is phenomenal.
Gamilaraay country extends from Singleton through to the Warrumbungle Mountains, which Mr Tutt proudly represents.
"Even though we are not getting any money from McLaren, to be able to share that experience with our mob and our young people is so great and they are profiling us so that we do get donations.
"It is very important that this stuff happens because there is schools in Australia and there is kids in Australia that don't have any books, that don't have any resources.
"My hope for Deadly Science is to become a charity that I hope eventually becomes redundant because we don't even need it.
"I am immensely proud. I started this organisation in 2018. I worked two jobs to fund it. Even though I won the Young Australian of the Year Award and I won all these awards I worked tremendously hard to get here and it was a watershed moment for me because I could never have seen this in my wildest dreams.
"I never thought people would get behind it like they have and that means I am the luckiest man in the world.
"Looking back on it all and finding out about this was a tearful moment."
The Deadly Science logo is also likely to appear in the next season of Netflix's series Drive To Survive as they film the current F1 season.
Mr Tutt has been given VIP access to this weekend's Grand Prix and will be taking a student along with him.
