World Time Attack Challenge and Turbosmart present the exhilarating Flying 500: Head to Head! This highly-requested format of racing pins cars side-by-side up the main straight of Sydney Motorsport Park, competing for the title of Flying 500 champion.

​

Since 2013, the Turbosmart Flying 500 has been an adrenaline-filled event attraction at the World Time Attack Challenge festival and this year is set to be even more exciting with its head-to-head approach. Past winners have included twin-turbo Lamborghinis, 1500HP EVOs and some amazing GTRs - so who do you think will take out this year's crown?

​

Two cars will race up the main straight of Sydney Motorsport Park for glory, side-by-side, head-to-head until the winner is crowned. This high octane event will have spectators on the edge of their seats, cheering for their favourite vehicles as they race their rivals to the finish line. Past winners include twin-turbo Lamborghinis, 1500HP EVOs and some tasty GTRs, this year’s race promises to be even more exciting than before!

 

Flying 500 is a full noise, top speed competition held on the main straight of SMSP circuit in reverse direction, commencing on the tarmac strip located adjacent to Turn 1 and takes competitors side-by-side to centre stage in front of the grandstands and main pit building. Past competitors have been clocked at over 280km/h and this seems to climb every single year. Who will take the trophy home this year?
