Optima Ultimate Street Car
Optima Ultimate Street Car presented by R&J Batteries is a test to see who has Australia’s best, all-round street car. Competitors take on a range of driving tests including drag racing, circuit driving, time attack, speed stop challenge and are even judged on build quality. It’s a ripper day of racing suited to both experience and amateur operators, a great way to give a car a thorough test at all disciplines in a fun, stress-free environment.
The next event will rock Calder Park Raceway, 15 February 2025. See more details and enter your car here.
