About Speedcars
Speedcars, known as Midget cars in North America, represent one of the oldest and most enduring forms of speedway racing. The category features purpose-built, open-wheel cars with a short wheelbase and a high power-to-weight ratio. Originally emerging in the United States during the 1930s, the class quickly spread to Australia and New Zealand, where the "Speedcar" terminology became the standard. These machines are powered by four-cylinder engines that produce significant horsepower relative to their small frame, requiring drivers to navigate tight, dirt oval tracks with precise throttle control and aggressive sliding techniques.
