Motorsport

BMW Drivers Club NSW prides itself in providing Motorsport opportunities for all its members.

As a Drivers Club we offer Driver Training, coaching and competitions in MotorKhana and Supersprint. All members are invited, actually encouraged to improve their driving skills and give their car a run on a skid pan for skills or a race track at speeds that the car was designed to do but are not allowed on our public roads. Motorsport in a BMW is fun and it doesn't matter if your BMW is an older 4 cylinder sedan, an all wheel drive SUV or a new M2 Comp., they all perform well on a race track. We run all our driver training and competition Motorsport events under a Motorsport Australia Permit.

Driver Experience days at Sydney Motorsport Park are Motorsport Australia "Come and Try Days" events. View https://motorsport.org.au/events/come-and-try event policy. These are very successful days with around 50 drivers improving their driving under coaching and instruction from our club's Motorsport Australia Driver Coaches.  

Try out your skills and your BMW on these driver training days. 

MotorKhana Championship.

Motorkhana is a low cost, great fun, form of motorsport which involves you manoeuvring your car through tight courses (known as tests) conducted on the smooth, wet and slippery surface of the Sydney Motorsport Park Skid Pan. The challenge is to drive the test in the shortest time and you are actually practicing car control in adverse conditions without any damage to your car. Great for new drivers but we can all improve our driving skills. For 2026 MotorKhana is again a five round championship with trophies.   Download MotorKhana rules

Supersprint Competition 

Supersprinting is timed motorsport – not door handle to door handle racing. We like to see all our club members enjoying this entry level motorsport. Cars are on the track in speed groups so new drivers are not intimidated by faster drivers and the faster drivers are not held up by slower drivers. There is a place for everyone and all BMW models. You and your BMW will love a run on the race track. To make an interesting and competitive Supersprint Competition, our BMW cars have been divided into 8 classes plus 2 class for all other cars. There is even a class for Lotus racecars. We compete for points in the annual competition of around 5 rounds, to win trophies presented at our annual dinner. The competition rounds are conducted at Sydney Motorsport Park car race circuits, and possibly Pheasant Wood Circuit near Marulan, One Raceway near Goulburn.  In the past we have been to Winton near Benalla in Victoria, Lakeside and Morgan Park in Queensland and possibly others in the future. 

Supersprint events we include sessions of Come & Try, Track Day.  When needed, we run a “Follow the Leader Session” for those drivers who are not familiar with the track. There is one leader for each group of 3 or 4 cars and the order of cars changes each lap on the main straight. Leaders may take inexperienced drivers in their cars during this session. All drivers and passengers will wear helmets and appropriate apparel with speed appropriate for the cars in the group to keep up and follow the leaders’ lines. The time for this practice session depend on the number of new drivers. 

To enter the BMW Drivers Club Supersprints all drivers must read these Supersprint Regulations 2026    look up you vehicle's base points in Annex A, work out Modification Weighting from Annex B, Fill in and submit on-line Annex-C (2026) form. Motorsport Australia requires that the Competitor must have consent from the owner authorising the use of the Automobile in the Competition. That permit is on the on-line Annex-C (2026) form. 

After you have read and understood the 2026 Supersprint Rules complete an submit this Annex C (2026)  form.

All cars entered in our Supersprints must have an exclusive 2 or 3 digit Car Number. When you register for an event, choose your desired car number, enter that number on your registration form. If no other driver has selected that number then that car number is yours and will remain your number for the year as long as you continue to enter the championship. If someone else has that number then you will receive an email to confirm your car number.

You purchase your own 230mm high Maiandra GD Bold Italic, Helvetica or Aerial or similar font car number digits in black or white to contrast on your car and have them on both sides of your car for checking at scrutineering. You can use magnetic panels for your car numbers but they must be secured with race tape. Magnetic panels are no good at 100KM/H.  We do not accept numbers made out of bits of tape.  

You also require a 150mm on a side, equilateral, blue battery triangle attached to your car to indicate the battery location. If your car is blue then please have a white 200mm triangle background. You must have an appropriate tow coupling on both front and back of your car.

Further to the BMW drivers Club NSW Supersprint Regulations 2026 Point 6.4 and 6.5, all competitor must volunteer themselves or provide an associate as a volunteer at least once in the year.  Please email motorsport@bmwclubnsw.asn.au if you can assist as a Flag Marshal.  Flag Marshal competitors have volunteer points added to your championship score.    

To run our Supersprints we do need Motorsport Australia qualified Officials and volunteers.  Please take out Motorsport Australia qualifications and lend a hand running our motorsport.  There are even Supersprint Championship points for drivers who volunteer as Flag Marshals.    Download Motorsport Australia's Officials Pathway and work on being an Official.

Introduction to Supersprints.

Our Club runs Supersprint events so that club members can experience driving their BMWs on a race circuit. It may appear to be a bit of a challenge to get involved and I hope that this introduction may assist.

Many BMW models were designed and built to be able to be driven faster than allowed on the public roads of Australia. In fact, all models are more capable than the speed limit. Your BMW, no matter what model, will perform nicely on a racetrack and you will experience the excitement and improve your driving skills.

Supersprinting is entry level motorsport, and we run our Supersprint under regulations and licence from Motorsport Australia (CAMS Confederation of Australian Motor Sport). It is time-based motorsport with you in your BMW against the clock, not door handle to door handle racing. 

On our website in Motorsport there is a full description of our Supersprint and MotorKhana rules and regulations to make a competition with trophies out of our motorsport events.  There is also a link to the Motorsport Australis Standard Regulations as well as Supplementary Regulations for the day, Disclaimer, Scrutineering Form and Annex C.  You register to enter and pay the entry fee for an event on the club’s website https://www.bmwclubnsw.asn.au/events. There is a bit to know about all this, but it is really easy, and I hope these points help.

If you feel that you are not ready for the challenge of Supersprint we do run Driver Experience / Come & Try days where we accept members driving their TfNSW road registered daily driver.  For Driver Experience days your car does not need to be to Supersprint Standards, just road registered and able to pass the normal pink slip check. 

For both Supersprint and Driver Experience events, all drivers require a Motorsport Australia Speed licence or, from 14 years of age, a Junior Speed Licence.  These are available online from  Motorsport Australia Speed Licence.  Or for Driver Experience events you can use a Motorsport Australia Come & Try Introductory one day licence for $35. Follow that link, download the Introductory licence, print it, fill it in including your Credit Card payment section, and bring it with you to the Sign-on Desk on the day. 

Preparation:

1.     You need a Motorsport Australia Speed Licence. You get that by joining Motorsport Australia and setting up your website portal.  Complete the licence application and paying the Motorsport Australia licence fee.  Motorsport Australia Speed Licence This is your contribution to the Motorsport Australia insurance arrangements. The full Motorsport Australia Manual of Motor Sport is available on the Motorsport Australia website. https://motorsport.org.au/regulations/manual

2.     You need an approved helmet to Motorsport Australia Schedule D and at least Australian Standard AS1698. Appropriate helmets are available from suppliers like Revolution Racegear. 

3.     You need non-synthetic clothing, neck to wrist to ankle and non-synthetic shoes. Jeans and a shirt are ok. You don’t need a race suit but that is the best and most comfortable garment.

4.     Your car needs a fire extinguisher that is less than 3 years old to Motorsport Australia Schedule H requirements.  It is to be on a metal mounting bracket that is to be attached to the car within reach of you, the driver. Most drivers attach the fire extinguisher mount bracket under the passenger’s seat front mounting bolts. Solid fixed installation not screwed to the carpet. Easy to do yourself or there are service companies that will mount the fire extinguisher for you. Bunnings have appropriate fire extinguishers for around $20. We may run an “install your fire extinguisher day”.

5.     Your car needs front and rear tow couplings. The car comes with one tow coupling, and you can purchase a second one from a BMW Dealer or one of the BMW Dismantlers like ASV or SWEA. They screw into sockets on the front and rear of the car and are there so that your car can be towed if it breaks down or becomes stuck in a gravel pit. Check that your two couplings fit your car and install them for Scrutineering.

6.     Your car needs valve caps on each tyre. These caps are to have a secondary seal. Metal valve caps are easy to get and do the job.  Some plastic caps don’t have the secondary seal so are not approved.

7.     You need Car Numbers on both sides of your car.  Your car number is the 2 or 3 digit number that you entered on your registration. If that number is not available, you will be emailed with a suggested alternative car number. Car Numbers are to be to Motorsport Australia Schedule K, that is 230mm high in an appropriate font, Black or White and contrasting to your car's colour. You can purchase your own numbers, or we now have stock of car number digits that are for sale at the Sign-on desk for $3.50 each digit plus we have both black and white background vinyl sheets at $10.00 each for you to make reusable number panels.  Bring cash or your credit card to purchase digits. 

8.     Our event registration form included Compliance, Disclaimer, and Scrutiny Forms and must be completed and submitted online by all drivers.  There is also the List of Scrutiny items that you checked online. Use the list to make sure your car is OK.

9.     All the rules for the Club’s Supersprint championship are in Motorsport on the website. Read the rules and then complete the online 2027  Annex C Form. .  You need to complete online Annex-C only once when entering an event for the first time in the year or if you change the modification status of your car.  This form has two requirements:

10.  If you have any questions, contact motorsport@bmwclubnsw.asn.au or chat with one of the experienced club members.

It is a blue triangle sticker 150mm on a side. If your car is a  dark colour you may need a white background triangle as well to make the blue tringle visible. Triangles are for sale at the Sign On desk in the scrutineering bay for $2. Stick the triangle on the car to indicate the position of the battery.

6.     Stay with the car. A scrutineer will check your car, if it passes, will sign your Car Entry Sticker and attach it to the top right corner of the windscreen.  Then please move the car from the bay.

7.     If you are a regular competitor, you will have your own numbers so have them attached to your car. If not. then the number that you registered with or sorted out with Motorsport@bmwclubnsw.asn.au is your number.  Sign-on desk has numbers and number panels for sale.  Stick your car numbers on the door panels or side windows.

12.  We may run familiarisation laps but this is unlikley.  They will be in the Supp. Regs. and will be announced at Driver Briefing.  These are for drivers new to this circuit and not for bedding in the brakes or warming up the tyres.  There will be groups with experienced drivers leading.  Drivers may be passengers in the leader’s car or my take experienced drivers as passengers.  All drivers and passengers are to wear their helmet. 

13.  All Supersprint session will be timed. 

14.  Each speed group will run in turn. The turns will be announced and may not be in order allowing for shared cars. Listen for announcements.

15.  When your speed group is called, drive your car to the Starting Grid Assembly Area (dummy grid) at the western end of the grid building.

16.  You will be in a set position on the grid.  Place number is on your Scrutiny Pass windscreen sticker and Grid Marshal will have that position number.  Your starting grid position has been determined by the time that you gave for this circuit, your previous form, or managers best guess, maybe your car type/model. Your starting Grid Marshal may permit position changes.

17.  The Grid Marshal will send you out on the track spaced apart from other drivers. The session is around 10 minutes depending on temperature.

18.  Take it easy, warm up your car, tyres, brakes and find your way round the circuit. Learn the lines, braking, turn-in point, apex, exit. For corners – “Slow in fast out”.  It is not a race.  This is Supersprinting – you against the clock.  Take your time to learn the circuit and build speed. You have a whole day to get up to speed.

19.  Sessions will continue until lunch time.  There will be two, three or possibly four sessions before lunch. You can move around in your speed group by arrangement with the Grid Marshal and the other drivers. Use Natsoft times to demonstrate your desire to move around within your group on successive runs.  The aim is to have fastest to slowest positioned within the group.

20.  Session times will be on Natsoft. Check them on your mobile phone.

21.  At lunch time, using the times from the morning sessions, drivers may be regrouped in speed groups from fastest to slowest and those new grid positions will be used for the afternoon sessions. Be aware of announcements. 

22. During the lunch period there will be appreciation laps for our volunteers and depending on the event we may have other special laps.  Supp. Regs. will include details and we will be looking for appropriate Supersprint drivers in cars with a passenger seat to host these laps. Be prepared to volunteer to help with this.   

23.  In the afternoon there may be another 2 or 3 sessions. You will get plenty of laps during the day. The number of sessions on the day depends on incidents and breakdown. Towards the end of the day, we may combine speed groups.  Be aware, listen for announcements.

24.  At the end of the day, around 4PM, or when you are finished, return your timing transmitter to timing in the tower and your MyLaps transponder to ARDC. If you take either of these unit home, there is a problem and a cost for you so please return it before you leave.     

25.  Enjoy the day.
