MEGUIAR’S SUPERSTARS

THIS year’s Motorex will see the largest number of Superstars contenders in 10 years, and the biggest ever seen in Melbourne. Over 40 cars will be competing for the richest elite show-car prize pool in the country, including eight wildcard entries. “Because we’ve moved the show forward this year to align with SEMA, we won’t have any cars from Perth [WA Hot Rod & Street Machine Spectacular is

on 16-17 June], and Queensland didn’t have a show this year, so that’s why we’ve added the wildcard entries,” says Owen Webb.

Three-quarters of the cars are brand new to Meguiar’s Superstars at Motorex, and as always, there will be great variety on offer, including hot rods, muscle cars and the reigning Summernats People’s Choice and Top Judged Elite cars. All Australian states will be represented, as well as one car from the United States – a stunning ’55 Chevrolet coupe. It will be great to see how our local stuff stacks up against the Yanks, or maybe, if their stuff stacks up against ours. There’s no doubt that Superstars has lifted the build quality in the Aussie car scene.

There are three categories within Meguiar’s Superstars: Open, Super Six and Grand Master. All Superstars entrants are eligible to compete for the Open Champion award, but only cars that have pre-qualified at a lead-up event are eligible for the Super Six and Grand Master awards. The top six point-scorers will make up the Super Six, while the top overall finalist will be crowned Grand Master and take home the 600mm-tall, 18kg billet trophy and a hefty cash prize.

You’ll be able to check out all of the Superstars contenders in the one pavilion, so get amongst it!
