  Registration is open for our first Supersprint Rnd 1 and Track Day on the Gardner (GP) Circuit at Sydney Motorsport Park!

  We ran this Supersprint and Track day on Druitt in February 2025 and it was popular for Supersprint drivers having their fist competition event for the year and for club members who just want to have a non-competitive day enjoying a drive on that car race circuit.  This year we have opened up on the Gardner GP Circuit.  

  A Supersprint is a multi-car speed event conducted on a circuit in cars that are grouped together based on similar lap times. This Supersprint forms round 1 of our 2026 Championship.

  The Track Day ticket allows those drivers who wish to try out the motorsport circuit in a controlled environment with no competition.

  We expect to have four groups of around 20 cars running on the day, and will aim for three Supersprint Driver groups and one Track Day Driver Group.  Groups will follow SS1, SS2, TD, SS3 with equal time for each group.   

  The entry fee is the same for either Supersprint or Track Day drivers and all have equal track time.

  For history of this combined event, download and read the single set of 2025  Supplementary Regulations  on Druitt that are for both groups and the 2026 Supp. Regs for this one will here in Feb 2026.

  Supersprint Drivers must read the 2025 Supersprint Drivers Rules. These are tin addition to the Supp. Regs. and the Supersprint championship Rules.  Speed groups fastest to slowest, Cars Scrutiny checked and drivers are required to have a Motorsport Australia Speed Licence.  You must read the Supersprint Driver R.  Select your desired 2 or 3 digit car number and it is yours.  If two drivers want the same number we will sort it out by email.  Number digits can be purchased at the sign-on desk, $3 each.

  For Track Day Groups you must also read the 2025 Track Driver Rules and:

  • the car has current Australian registration, is road legal and you drive the car to the circuit,
  • no fire extinguisher is required, however a tow hook is recommend but not compulsory,
  • approved helmet and appropriate apparel required,
  • no timing, and no published results. Driving behaviours observed.  

  Track Day drivers can either purchase a Motorsport Australia one day Introductory Licence for $35 or have a Motorsport Australia Speed Licence.  Don't register until you have your licence number.  We will issue 2 digit car numbers for Track Day cars, no cost, install numbers on top left corner of windscreen.  

  There will be an Event Master Form that combines Compliance, Disclaimer and Scrutiny that all drivers complete online here in January 2026
  

  Where passengers are involved, all drivers and passengers are to complete Passenger Ride Form and submit it to the staff at the sign-on desk on the day.

  This Motorsport Event Permit No. 226/1406/TBA is round 2 of our 2026 BMW Supersprint Championship and a Round of Porsche Clubs Championship as well as our annual BMW/Porsche Challenge.  
  

  BMW Drivers Register here and Porsche Drivers Register on the Porsche website.

  The 2026 documents will be here in April 2026 For understanding please read the 2025 Approved Supp. Regs., Further Regs. and these Driver Briefing Notes  There will be a Master Event Form that combines Event Details, Disclaimer, Compliance and Scrutiny, online here in April 2026   

  This is a Supersprint Event with 60 BMWs and 60 Porsches where cars are in 5 speed groups that are rated fastest to slowest with up to 24 cars fastest to slowest in each group.  Drivers drive to set their best times in their club’s competition Class to win points in their club’s championship.  This is not a car race. Employ appropriate Supersprint driver etiquette. If a car is closer to you this lap than it was on the previous lap, it is faster than you so let it pass. If you are fast down the straight but are pushed around the corners by apparently slower cars, let them pass and follow them to learn their cornering techniques.   

  As this is also the annual BMW / Porsche Challenge, 25 BMW Club Cars and 25 Porsche Club Cars will be gaining points in the challenge by getting as close to their group time without breaking out.  Group times are Group 1 unlimited, Group 2 1:46, Group 3 1:51, Group 4 1:54 and Group 5 1:57.5.  

  We are running to the BMW Drivers NSW 2025 Supersprint Rules . All BMW Drivers Club Competitors are to read the rules and complete the 2025 Annex C
