Upcoming Club and Alternative Motorsport Events

29 July 2024 / David Lawler

Here are a couple of motorsport events over the next month or two which may be of interest.

 

Sunday 11th August - MX-5 Club Motorkhana Championship Round 3

The next round of our club motorkhana championship will be run at the SMSP Skidpan on Sunday 11th August.

This is the 3rd of 4 rounds in the 2024 championship and the 2nd this year at the skidpan.

Motorkhanas are a relatively low speed motorsport event, involving driving a car around a set of cones over a pre-set course, while being timed. Our club motorkhana days are designed to cater for drivers who are inexperienced in car control and to provide them with a fun set of motorkhana style challenges to test and develop their skills, as well as offering some tricky bits for more experienced drivers. We accept entries from drivers as young as 12 years under parental supervision - these events are a great option for kids learning to drive.

The Sydney Motorsport Park skidpan is a large flat concrete area which provides plenty of space for any mistakes, and the surface is watered throughout the day to ensure a low grip surface and so allow enthusiastic manouvering while minimising wear and tear on cars and tyres.

A number of experienced club members are on hand to provide one-on-one support to the participants.

Entries for this motorkhana are now open, with more information available on the event page here.

 

Saturday 24th August - CSCA Supersprint

The Combined Sports Car Association (CSCA) is comprised of 8 sporting car focused car clubs, and runs it's own annual supersprint championship.

The next CSCA Supersprint will be run on the SMSP GP Circuit on Saturday 24th August by Club Lotus Australia. This could be a good substitute to our lost track day at One Raceway on 25th August, and an opportunity to drive on the SMSP GP circuit.

Entries for this event are now open, and can be accessed via the Event Entry system on the Motorsport Australia website.

An invitation letter with more information and links to the event regulations is here.

 

Saturday evening 28th September - MX-5 Club Track Day

The next MX-5 Club track day will be run on the SMSP South Circuit in the evening of Saturday 28th September. This is the first time the club has run an evening event at SMSP and is an exciting new option in our motorsport calendar.

Entries will open soon.

Please consult the event page on the MX-5 Club website.
