Winton Driver Challenge 23rd May 2026

Spend a full day at Winton Motor Raceway focused purely on driver skill, technique, and competition. 

The day begins on the skidpan with a structured two‑car driver shootout. Two cars compete head to head at the same time, progressing through elimination rounds. This challenge is suitable for first‑time track drivers through to experienced competitors. It is designed to reward car control, smooth inputs, and precision. Vehicle power is not an advantage. Skill matters far more than horsepower, making it one of the most level and revealing tests of driving ability. 

Following the morning shootout sessions, guests break for lunch inside the Winton Motor Raceway Museum. A relaxed setting surrounded by motorsport history before the afternoon program begins.

In the afternoon, attention shifts to the National Circuit, hosted and operated by Trackschool, in partnership with Ultimate Send and Stay Driven delivering the overall event experience. Drivers head out in their own cars for laps with optional roaming professional driver instructors. If your looking for instruction, its hands on, personalized, and focused on improving technique, confidence, and consistency while enjoying meaningful seat time on one of Victoria’s premier circuits.

Note: driver instruction is optional. You are welcome to head onto the track by yourself. Track sessions are 3x 15-minutes.

The day concludes with a final showdown. The shootout winners return for one last session, this time competing directly against Cam. The winner earns the Top Driver Challenge title and the ultimate bragging rights. 

This is a structured, competitive day designed to measure real driving ability, not machinery.
