The Optima Ultimate Street Car, presented by R&J Batteries, is set to ignite the automotive scene at Calder Park on February 15. This event serves as the epicenter of the Aussie Pro Touring movement, showcasing street cars tested in various disciplines to determine the ultimate all-round performer. Beyond raw speed, contenders must excel in steering and braking prowess.
While competition slots are nearly filled, enthusiasts can still immerse themselves in Australia’s premier Pro Touring spectacle by participating in the Street Machine VIP Park-Up. For a mere $30, attendees gain event access, a show ‘n’ shine slot for their vehicles, and an $80 Chemical Guys car care pack.
The highlight of the day will be the selection of the top three cars by Simon Telford and the Street Machine team. These winners secure a trophy and a spot in the prestigious Real Street show at the upcoming MotorEx event in May. Additionally, seven more Real Street slots will be up for grabs, with winners announced on stage at 4 pm.
Moreover, six lucky participants will have their cars featured in a Street Machine photoshoot conducted by a renowned photographer during the event. The selected vehicles will grace the magazine’s pages, and owners will receive a personalized image pack.
The Street Machine VIP Park-Up serves as a vibrant car show complementing the on-track action. This gathering welcomes a diverse array of automotive marvels, ranging from street beasts to hot rods, customs, and high-tech tuners. Unlike traditional shows, this event offers flexibility, allowing participants to move freely and engage with both static displays and track events.
Open to the public, the Street Machine VIP Park-Up invites enthusiasts to showcase their rides and relish the adrenaline-pumping on-track performances. Participants in the Optima Ultimate Street Car challenge are encouraged to exhibit their vehicles between competitions for all to admire.
The event is scheduled from 11 am to 4 pm in the Calder Park pits area, situated on the opposite side of the competitor pits. To join this thrilling experience, interested individuals can submit their entries online and secure a date with automotive excitement at Calder Park.
As the Optima Ultimate Street Car Challenge gears up for another thrilling edition at Calder Park, the anticipation among automotive aficionados is palpable. This event not only celebrates the spirit of performance driving but also showcases the passion and ingenuity of car enthusiasts pushing the boundaries of street machines.
