Summernats

Summerants, Australia's largest car festival.

When the smoke hangs thick and you can barely see the bloke beside you; when methanol mixes with burnt rubber and your eyes are in pain… That’s when you realize you’ve died and gone to heaven, car heaven, Summernats heaven…

Summernats is a household name, an Aussie icon, an event that is as well known as the Melbourne Cup, the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race, the Ekka, and every other event that has become an annual and integral part of our unique lifestyle.

Summernats is the event where, every year, new legends are created. The place where, true to the Aussie Spirit, new local heroes rise from the smoke of the burnout pad, from the hallowed elite showcar pavilion, from the soul-destroying Dyno Cell…

And the great thing about this iconic event… Like all truly great festivals, everyone is a part of it; the competitors, the kids, the families – everyone is involved.

But when it’s over?

That’s when you kick back and watch “Grunt Files Does Summernats”. Take the journey, lose yourself in the excitement that is Summernats…
