Timed events on licenced tracks, strictly one-car-at-a-time, are conducted on a regular basis by MGCC Newcastle (and other clubs).
They suit all types of vehicles, and are held right through from Club Level to State and national Championships. They are great fun requiring intense concentration from a river for a short period of time. They are quite safe and require a few simple safety items to be fitted to your car – a second bonnet restraint and a fire extinguisher etc.plus a safety helmet. A club official can advise you on what is needed.
Costs are only a fraction of circuit racing.
In a supersprint cars compete in groups of up to 8 cars at either Eastern Creek or Tamworth race circuits, against the clock – it’s actually an opportunity to compete with other cars on the circuit and without the need for extensive vehicle modifications.
Cars are grouped according to their performance, and circulate around the track, trying to clock a fast time. Cars are separated by time intervals and for safety, overtaking is severely restricted.
