What is the SMC

Grassroots racing, done right.

SuperMini Challenge Inc is a non-profit, Motorsport Australia–affiliated club, run by an elected volunteer committee for the benefit of its members. Since 2022 we've given newcomers and seasoned racers a place to go wheel-to-wheel without breaking the bank.

Two classes, two championships and eight rounds across Queensland, New South Wales and South Australia. A friendly paddock that wants you to succeed.

Cooper Class

BMW R53 Cooper S

The Cooper Class is the entry class, built on the BMW R53 Cooper S. Cars remain largely OEM with a defined list of permitted modifications, control components and a minimum weight — keeping the field evenly matched and costs contained.
