Due to popular demand Forum Battle will be opening the flood gates, and allowing competitors to enter multiple disciplines, every competitor will also automatically gain VIP access and be entered into the show shine event.

Forum battle wants each and every competitor to be able to go home with a proper Motorsport adrenalin filled weekend.

Points gained in these events will also go to your Forums total point score. PRIZES,PRIZES,PRIZES. Winning is always sweeter when you get to take home a trophy and prizes. But what if you could take a big chunk of the 20K prize pool? We say if you’ve got the car to do the job, don’t hold back.

And for those of us lucky enough to have sponsors helping us out, this is a great opportunity to send some love back to the sponsors and get great coverage+reach for all those important potential customers. Forum Battle will have multiple car bloggers, photographers and video bloggers all making the trip to Calder Park to cover Forum Battle.

Up to 1500 elite street machines descend on Canberra, followed by 85,000 adoring fans. People bask in tyre smoke clouds and the smell of bourbon for as far as the eye can see. Bet your bottom dollar that Summernats has everything to do with Australia’s passionate love of V8s and burnouts. Automotive tomfoolery is our business. We spent last weekend soaking up the wonder that is Summernats for the first time. It was unlike anything else we’ve experienced. No words will quite capture the spectacle in its entirety, so here’s our photographic guide to Australia’s number one horsepower party.

There were a few cars in attendance that are becoming quite the star of the local scene, one being Heath’s wicked Datsun Wagon.
