Car

All cars must be able to be driven lawfully on Victorian roads.  All cars require a form of registration, either full road reg, club registration or some other form of registration which allows the vehicle to be lawfully driven on the road.  The vehicle must be in a roadworthy/track-worthy condition prior to being deemed safe to drive on the circuit. The following items will be scrutineered:

  • All treaded tyres must have a minimum of 2mm tread depth remaining at the beginning of the day – this includes centre as well as sides. If subsequent inspection during the day shows the tyre to be on or below the tread depth indicator access to the track may be denied;
    Rent tyres + wheels instead and save your tread – more info here >

  • Front & rear brakes must operate correctly upon testing;
  • Shock absorber seals must not show any signs of leaking or weeping fluid;
  • There must be no evidence of oil leaks or weeps of any kind;
  • All panels must be secured correctly (no race tape!);

  • Driver and passenger seats must be secured;
  • Exhausts must be secured by all mounting points;
  • Pedals that are bent and deemed difficult to operate must be repaired or replaced;
  • Pedals must snap back to the off position when released;
