Think you have the fastest machine on four wheels? The Tire Rack Ultimate Track Car Challenge Presented by Grassroots Motorsports is the place to prove it.
What is the Tire Rack Ultimate Track Car Challenge? It’s our annual no-holds-barred track competition. The only rules are that car and driver must pass a NASA safety inspection.
Even though it’s over a month away, we already have 11 entries ready to battle it out for the title of Ultimate Track Car.
Need some inspiration? Here’s just a handful of what you could be competing against:
Good for 500 horsepower, it’s easy to see why Chinchi Chiang’s 2017 Honda Civic Type R is considered “possibly the fastest modern front-wheel-drive Honda track car.”
Stock doesn’t always mean slow, as evident by James Paul’s Elan DP02. Its 240 horsepower, turbocharged 2.3-liter Mazda engine only has 1600 pounds to motivate.
Straight out of 1982 is L. Michael Trenkle’s Ford Mustang. And yes, it’s got “extremely high levels of grip” to help keep the 575 horsepower Ford small block V8 in line.
Forget getting a bigger engine, Brian Collins’ 2017 Ford Mustang GT350 gets more power thanks to a bigger supercharger–bringing the total output to 798 horsepower.
View these cars, along with the rest of the field, on the UTCC website. If you think you have what it takes to win, enter your car here.
The 2022 UTCC returns to Virginia International Raceway May 13-14 in the center of NASA’s HyperFest weekend.
The Tire Rack Ultimate Track Car Challenge is presented by Grassroots Motorsports in association with Wilwood Engineering, CRC Industries, DeatschWerks, HP Tuners and SPA Technique, with trophies from BimmerWorld, XS Power Batteries, Sensor Connection, Track Advantage and Stifflers.
