To compete in the OPTIMA Ultimate Street Car Challenge you need to compete in four racing events on the day.
HOT LAP
The hot lap is a blast around Calder Park's iconic main track.
The speed stop comprises a short sprint through the drag-strip burnout box into a tight 180 onto the staging lanes, where a series of bollards must be navigated as quickly as possible before screeching to a halt in the brake box.
DRAG RACE
The drag race is a simple quarter-mile event.
AUTO TEST
The auto test is a sprint down a short section of the main track, with a couple of tight turns and straights, and a hairpin that catches pretty much everyone out.
All entrants will compete in one of FIVE classes:
VINTAGE
1999 or Older
2000 - Present
TUNER
1990 or Newer JDM Spec
EXOTICS
Supercars, Hypercars, Grand Tourers
OUTLAW
Vehicles that do not meet the competition regulations OR a vehicle driven by a professional driver.
Note — entrants competing in the outlaw class are NOT eligible to win the overall event award ‘the Ultimate Street Car winner’.
