Optima Ultimate Street Car, presented by R&J Batteries, hits Calder Park on 15 February. OUSC sees real street cars being put to the test across a wide variety of disciplines to decide who has the best all-round streeter in the land. It isn’t enough just to be fast in a straight line – the winner will need to steer and stop like a demon, too.

Competition entries are very close to full, but if you would like to come and check out Australia’s premier Pro Touring event in person, we’ve got a killer offer for you in the form of the Street Machine VIP Park-Up.

What do you get? For just $30, you get entry to the event, a spot for your car in our show ‘n’ shine and a Chemical Guys car care pack valued at $80.

What can you win? Telfo and the Street Machine team will choose their top three cars of the day to receive a trophy and a spot in the Real Street show at this year’s MotorEx, 3-4 May. We’ll also have a further seven Real Street spots up for grabs, all of which will be awarded on stage at 4pm.

And that’s not all! We’ll select six cars for a Street Machine photoshoot with one of our top photographers during the event. You’ll get to see your car featured in the mag, and we’ll send you an image pack as well.

What is it? The Street Machine VIP Park-Up is the car show that happens while the car show on track is going on, and just like the main event, it’ll be a melting pot of automotive enthusiasm – tough street cars, hot rods, customs, mini-trucks, high-tech tuners and everything in between. It’s not a formal show, either, so you’re not stuck in one spot all day; you’re free to leave and come back as you need to.

Who can do it? The Street Machine VIP Park-Up is open to the public to come and show off their rides and check out the on-track action. All Optima Ultimate Street Car entrants are also encouraged to display their vehicles between events for all to admire.

When & where? 11am to 4pm in the Calder Park pits area, parking up on the opposite side of the competitor pits.

How to enter: Submit your entry here, and we’ll see you next Saturday at Calder!
