[motorculture]

Call out for All Car Enthusiasts. Enter your car in MotorEx 12 for your chance to WIN!

MotorEx needs no introductions. It is Australia’s largest and most prestigious motoring enthusiast event of its kind. Now in its 12 year, MotorEx is looking to make it bigger and better than before.

Times have changed and the direction of car modding and styling has moved towards “less is more” and simple effective quality mods that look good but also has a strong performance value being a major priority and factor.

What is Street Elite? :

Street Elite is the exciting category created for modified car owners and builders to compete with the current styling and build trends. It will reward current styles and encourage future trends and grow with the whole custom automotive industry.

The most significant change with car building over the last few years is that owners want to show their cars and be competitive but still use them regularly. Therefore with good planning and preparation of the build and focus on cleaning and maintenance after completion this can be achieved.

People are still looking for elite finish on engine bay, body, paint, interior but much more usable undercarriage. Therefore with the undercarriage the judges will be looking for well executed legal engineering, innovative coatings without the high level of smoothing and detail associated with Super Elite Showcars in the engineering and concept, planning and innovation awards.

Basic Requirements:

All Street Elite entries will have to have current registration where an annual inspection is compulsory, blue slip or engineers report (for new vehicle) to be eligible for judging. Street Elite is designed for the owners and builders who genuinely want to compete in this category and cars will be expected to be presented in the spirit of the competition it is designed for.
