The Mini 4WD Elite Series : Mini 4WD Sydney Race Tournament

Two Classes. Six Rounds. One Champion. The hunt for the Elite Series Champion begins.

Racers, welcome!

Your machines are tuned, your batteries are charged, and you’ve spent countless hours perfecting your roller setups and damper configurations. You’re ready to race.

But before your Mini 4WD hits the track, you need to understand the battlefield. This isn't just a single elimination bracket where one bad run knocks you out. This tournament is a test of consistency, endurance, and raw speed across multiple events.

We have designed a points-based series format to ensure that the most versatile and consistent racer takes home the championship trophy. Here is a complete breakdown of the tournament mechanics and how you can stack up points to win it all.

The Tournament Structure: The "Six-Round Series"

Forget about "one and done." The Grand Champion will be decided over the course of 6 distinct race events.

Your goal is simple: accumulate the highest total score across these six races. This means even if you crash out in Race 1, you are still in the hunt for the championship if you perform well in Races 2 through 6. Every single heat counts.

The Points Breakdown: Every Position Matters

We want to reward deep runs into the brackets, not just the final winner. Points are awarded based on your final placement in each of the six races.

Here is how the points are allocated per race event:

1st Place: 10 Points

2nd Place: 7 Points

3rd Place: 5 Points

Reaching the Semi-Finals: 3 Points

Participation: 1 Point (per race class)

Tournament Bonus: +3 Points for the most total wins.

Tie-Breaker: Sudden death race after the 6th round.

Note: If you podium (1st, 2nd, or 3rd), you receive those points instead of the semi-finalist points. Everyone who registers and runs a car receives the participation point, regardless of placement.

The Strategy: As you can see, the gap between 1st (10 pts) and 2nd (7 pts) is significant. However, consistently reaching the semi-finals or taking 3rd place in multiple races add up very quickly against a racer who wins once but crashes out the rest of the day.

The "Dominator" Bonus

We have one extra incentive for those aiming for pure dominance.

At the end of the six races, we will tally up who stood on the top step of the podium the most times.

Bonus: Racer with the Most Total Wins across the tournament gets an additional +3 Points.

If you manage to win 3 out of the 6 races, you are highly likely to secure this bonus, giving your final score a crucial boost.

The Tie-Breaker: Sudden Death

Competition is expected to be fierce, and with this points system, a tie for 1st place overall after 6 rounds is a real possibility.

We don’t believe in sharing the top prize.

In the event of a tie for the Championship after the conclusion of the 6th race, the tied racers will face off in a Sudden Death Race. One heat, winner takes all.

Get Ready to Race!

This format rewards the racer who brings a machine that is fast, stable, and reliable. You need to survive the heats to get the points.

Study the track layout, finalize your setups, and get ready for a marathon day of racing. We look forward to seeing who can master the six rounds and claim the title!

See you on the track!
