2025 Motorsport Australia
NSW Supersprint Championship
Competitors Forms & Information
New Competitor Information
New competitors can often find it daunting getting to the track and finding out what to do, where to go and where places like scrutineering/check-in and the dummy grid are located at each track. Please click here for a .pdf file which you can print that gives a new competitor all the information they need to find their way around scrutineering, check-in, required vehicle signage etc for their first event.
Minimum Helmet Standards & Labelling
There are minimum standards of helmets and frontal head restraint systems permitted to be used during competition in the Motorsport Australia NSW Supersprint Championship. Helmets will be checked for the appropriate labeling at each event and drivers will not be permitted to compete if their helmets don’t display the approved labeling.
If you plan to compete in Motorsport, you should check Schedule D of the Motorsport Australia Manual for the minimum standards. Section 1.4 defines the minimum requirements for Speed events and section 2.1 shows the approved standards and labelling for these helmets. Please ensure that your helmet has one of these approved labels as these will be checked at scrutineering. Motorcycle helmets cannot be used as they don’t have the fire resistance nor the stationary impact protection of a car racing helmet.

NSW Supersprint Championship Supplementary Regulations Part 1 SSP 10
The Motorsport Australia NSW Supersprint Championship Supplementary Regulations is a two part document.
Part 1 of these Supplementary Regulations is SSP 10 and this document contains all the fixed information that is common to each Round of the Championships.
Part 2 contains the variable information that a host club needs to provide for each Championship Round and is based on the SSP 11 template.
Both Part 1 and Part 2 will be published by each host club, but only Part 1 will remain constant between Rounds.
We recommend that you make yourself familiar with Part 1 of the Championship Supplementary Regulations as that information will not change throughout the year.

Motorsport Australia Self Extraction Policy
The ability of a Driver, Co-Driver or Navigator to exit a competition vehicle in a reasonable time reduces the risk of death or serious injury in the event of an incident. The FIA mandate a minimum Self-Extraction time, and from the start of 2024, Motorsport Australia will also mandate a minimum Self Extraction time.
The objective of this Self-Extraction Test is to ensure that all competitors can get out of their competition vehicle quickly. Practicing the test is strongly encouraged to ensure each Driver, knows the best way to self-extract from their Automobile before being tested.
Unless the Rules require a lesser time, each occupant in an Automobile taking part in a Competition must be able to self-extricate and be clear from their Automobile in 15 seconds or less. Please click here to download a copy of the Motorsport Australia Self Extraction Policy.
Replacement Vehicle
Registrants are entitled to use a replacement vehicle (“Replacement Vehicle”) instead of the vehicle originally registered for the Championship (“Original Vehicle”) provided that an emailed request is sent with your Replacement Vehicle’s details to supersprintnsw@gmail.com at least 48 hours prior to the vehicle being used for Supersprint Panel approval.
If the Original Vehicle is modified to the extent that it is no longer eligible to compete in the same Class as the Original Vehicle it shall be deemed to be a “Replacement Vehicle”. Registrants can only score points in a Replacement Vehicle for the Type, Class and Club Championships if they have sent an email request as described above.
If the Original Vehicle is mechanically unable to compete at a Round, a Replacement Vehicle may be substituted, again if an email request has been made as described above.
If the Replacement Vehicle is eligible to compete in the same Class as the Original Vehicle, it will use the same Competition Number as the Original Vehicle and it will remain in the same Class as the Original Vehicle.
If the Replacement Vehicle is not eligible to compete in the same Class as the Original Vehicle, it will be allocated a different Competition Number to that used by the Original Vehicle and it will be placed in a Class that it is eligible to compete in as elected by the registrant.
If the Replacement Vehicle is eligible to compete in the same Class as the Original Vehicle, all points scored in the Replacement Vehicle will be added to any points scored in the Original Vehicle for the purposes of the Type, Class and Club Championships. If the Replacement Vehicle is not eligible to compete in the same Class as the Original Vehicle, points scored in the Replacement Vehicle will be allocated separately to the Type, Class and Club pointscores that are relevant to the Replacement Vehicle.
Only the Supersprint Panel approved Original Vehicle OR the Replacement Vehicle may be used at any Round of the Championship
Targeted Scrutiny
The targeted scrutiny program is an ongoing program based on a combination of routine and random audits of log booked vehicles and driver’s apparel to ensure such equipment remains in compliance with all relevant regulations. Its main benefit for competitors is that it eliminates the requirement to have their cars join the scrutineering queue in the morning. Motorsport Australia has published Notes on this system please click here to download.

Motorsport Australia Stewards Hearing: Rights of the Defendant
One of the most difficult parts of Motor Sport, particularly for new competitors, is to understand the workings of the judicial system. It’s probably the major source of the competitor’s enquiries and it is hoped the explanations on this document will be of assistance.
