About the SMC

Fun, competitive and budget-friendly motorsport — run by racers, for racers.

Who we are

SuperMini Challenge Inc

The SuperMini Challenge Inc (SMC) is an Australian Motorsport–affiliated, QLD incorporated non-profit club, which commenced at the beginning of the 2022 season. The SMC is run by an elected, voluntary management committee made up of paid members, for the benefit of all competitors and all members.

Our primary focus is to promote an enjoyable and fun racing series at state and club level that provides competitive, budget-friendly motorsport — an entry level of competition that's properly regulated, but with pathways to more spirited competition within the club for those who want it.

The format

How a season works

In 2026 the SuperMini Challenge runs across two championships — the Rubber Craft Australian Championship and the Rubber Craft Queensland State Championship — with eight rounds at Morgan Park, Queensland Raceway, Sydney Motorsport Park and The Bend. Each event has an organising body that sanctions and hosts the race meeting, and the SMC takes grid spots at each round listed on the calendar.

A series points system awards points at every round, and champions are crowned at the end of the season.

We also work to foster new talent — newcomers get support and assistance, and competitors are expected to show consideration toward them under race conditions.
