GUIDELINES FOR CHAMPIONSHIP EVENT ORGANISERS
The 2025 Championship document package has been designed by the NSW Supersprint Panel to continue the methodology used in 2024 and to comply with Motorsport Australia’s National Competiton Rules (NCR’s).
The Panel’s objective is to have the same methodology for every Championship Round, irrespective of the Club hosting the event. This has proven to be effective for competitors as they become used to the requirements which don’t change with each event. This in turn leads to a more streamlined administration process as the Event Secretary has less errors requiring correction.
2025 Event Planning Schedule
The following dates will be used for promotional and communication purposes. Please use these dates to meet competitors expectations:
Entry information via supersprintnsw.com
For consistency, Event Entry information will in the first instance be available to competitors under the “Events” tab on the www.supersprintnsw.com website. Links will be provided to entrants on that page to the online Motorsport Australia or ARDC Event Entry system as well as all other information and forms required by competitors for that event.
If required a link can also be provided to a specified page on the host Club’s website as well.
Electric Vehicles
Electric Vehicles (EV’s) will be allowed to compete this year but only at events where the venue operator has approved their use, currently only permitted at One Raceway and the Pheasant Wood circuit.
For events where EV’s are permitted (ie One Raceway, Pheasant Wood), only Series Production EV’s with no modifications to their EV systems and that comply with Type RR regulations may compete, and then only in Class RR4 in the Club Competition.
A Part 2 “EV” template has been approved with clause 2.14 added to cover the entry of EV’s.
Please use this template if your event is running EV’s.

2025 Competitor Documentation
This year, all Supersprint Championship competitors have registered for the NSW Championship online to this website. Last year the Panel used an Access database system to administer the 2024 Championships and to provide proof of concept. This system has now been constructed in this website where all Championship data will be centralised.
The Supersprint Panel will manage the registrant’s data in this system to provide Event Secretaries with totally up to date and accurate registrant and vehicle information. Event Secretaries will be able to access this system to utilise as a tool to make their task simpler, quicker and more accurate.
For each event using the Motorsport Australia Event Entry system, the Supersprint Panel will upload the Event Entry data from that system into the online Championship administration system. The Panel will check the data of each competitor to confirm, in particular, the competition number and class of each competitor and make sure that the event entry data matches the registration data for each Championship competitor. The Panel will also manage competitor’s Ranking Times upon which the event grid groups are organised as well as setting the grid groups as described in the “Panel Support” section below.
Event Secretaries will be able to run and download a range of reports, including an Excel File for Timing, Grid Mashall Grid Sheets and a wide variety of other reports to assist with the administration of their event.
A set of Clerk of the Course Drivers Briefing Notes will need to be provided to competitors prior to the Event. This can either be provided to the Panel by the Event Secretary in .pdf format for uploading to the website’s Entry page or the Panel’s SSP 17 Drivers Briefing Notes may be used. Alternatively, the following Word template can be used by the clerk of the Course as a base for a custom Drivers Briefing Notes if for example additional information is required: SSP 17 Drivers Briefing Note (Word).
Please use the below following links for documents to include in your Event Entry system:

SSP 20 Scrutineering Reference Sheet
https://supersprintnsw.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/SSP-20-Speed-Event-Scrutineering-Reference-Sheet.pdf
Pre-Event Checks
To ensure that all checks have been completed prior to the event, it is recommended that Event Secretaries check that a Parent/Guardian Consent has been completed for any driver is under 18 years of age, and that competitor’s competition licenses are checked using Motorsport Australia’s online batch license check facility.
The Motorsport Australia Event Entry system has all competitors legally declare that they are a current member of a Motorsport Australia affiliated Sporting Car Club, that they have read the Supplementary Regulations and Drivers Briefing Notes and have inspected and checked their vehicle and that it complies with the Events’ scrutineering requirements.
NSW Supersprint Panel Support
The Panel will provide the host Club with an excel file for Timing, Grid Sheets, Scrutineering labels and all event audit and check-in documentation required by the Chief Scrutineer.
Grid Sheets
From the event entry data at the Entry Close Date, the Panel will construct a set of draft Grid sheets containing relevant competitor information and will email this direct to competitors for checking on the Friday 9 days out as per the Timetable above. Competitors will have until 10:00pm on the following Sunday (Late Entry Closing Date) to reply.
The Panel will then update the draft Grid Sheets with the information received from competitors and add any Late Entries received by that deadline as well. The Panel will forward the final Grid Sheets to the Event Secretary on the following Monday for circulation to competitors with other event information.
Competitors whose entries are accepted after the 10:00pm Sunday deadline will be placed at the back of a grid group or in the last group in the rotation.
Depending on the number of competitors without Raanking Times, the last group in the rotation (usually Group 6) will have their grid positions revised after the first session.
The Panel is to provide the Grid marshal with a second set of scrutineering stickers for that group which can be placed over the original stickers to show their revised group sequencing.
The Event Secretary is to liaise with Timing and arrange for a sheet containing the times for that last group’s first session be printed and taken to the Grid Marshal to enable the sequencing of that group to be revised when they grid up for their second session.
Scrutineering Stickers
The Panel will provide the necessary data to the Scrutineering stocker printer on the Tuesday prior to the event as per the above Schedule.
Competitors whose entries are accepted after the 10:00pm Sunday deadline will not have scrutineering stickers printed but will have handwritten stickers issued on the day.
A set of blank scrutineering stickers will also be produced to allow for any unforeseen problems on the day.
At the conclusion of scrutineering, the Chief Scrutineer will take any printed scrutineering stickers “left over” to the Event Secretary, where they will both investigate whether either the competitor has not turned up on the day, or if their car does not have a scrutineering sticker on it.
The Event Scrutineering / Check-in Process
The Event scrutineering/check in process will be conducted in 3 locations, which are usually tables set up in the scrutineering bay.
The first is the Helmet Check table. Competitor’s helmets are first checked for compliance and once passed, have a coloured sticker applied to the right-hand side of the helmet so that it is visible through the driver’s window.
Competitors then proceed to one of the two other tables, one for Vehicles with log books and the other for Vehicles without log books. Competitors are to show their helmet’s sticker at the respective table as well as their Log Book (if applicable) to collect their scrutineering sticker and driver’s wrist band.
Scrutineering of Vehicles With Log Books
Vehicles with Log Books will be included in the Targeted Scrutiny System. These competitors are to present their Log book at this table. If due for an Audit, the competitor’s car number, log book number and garage/carport number will be noted on the SSP 25 Scrutiny Audit Worksheet and the Log Book retained. Competitors will then be issued with a scrutineering sticker and driver’s wrist band. Later in the day, the Log book will be returned to the competitor, duly annotated, after the Target Audit has been completed.
Scrutineering of Vehicles Without Log Books
Competitors with Vehicles without Log Books that are noted on the Scrutiny Plan as requiring a Random Audit are also to advise their garage/car port number as they will be subject to a random scrutineering audit in their garage/carport through the day. Any deficiencies found may be reported to the Clerk of the Course and may affect the vehicle’s authorisation to further compete on the day. Competitors will then be issued with a scrutineering sticker and driver’s wrist band.
All Vehicles
Competitors will be issued with a “Type” sticker with their scrutineering sticker. This label is to be positioned in a suitable location on the rear window. If the vehicle does not have a rear window, it is to be placed in a position at the rear where it is visible from the rear. Competitors are requested to leave this sticker on their car to save replacing it at every round.
Competitors who have not driven on the circuit before are to display a “X” at the rear of their vehicle in electrical tape of a contrasting colour to the cars body, the size being 150mm square.
Each windscreen sticker will contain the competitor details as well as their assigned Group and Grid Position. To close the loop, the Grid Marshals need to confirm that every vehicle on the grid displays the event’s scrutineering sticker, and the driver has a driver’s wrist band before letting them out onto the track.
