The Tire Rack Ultimate Track Car? The E92-chassis BMW M3, says driver Howard Wentworth, is “the ultimate car to track,” and that’s pretty much the same thing, right?

Prepped to compete in the Optima Ultimate Street Car Challenge, the M3 has had much of its interior stripped to drop as much weight as possible, while also upgraded with various modifications, including a Studio RSR roll cage, BC Racing struts, Apex wheels wrapped in sticker tires and “a lot of aero,” Wentworth adds.

On October 22, at Eagles Canyon Raceway, Wentworth’s M3 will battle against some of the quickest cars in the country in our Tire Rack Ultimate Track Car Challenge Presented by Grassroots Motorsports–our annual search for the fastest track machine on four wheels.

What’s eligible to compete for that title? Virtually any vehicle, so long as both driver and car can pass a safety inspection. If you can manage to pass that, register today.

In addition to several prizes and awards to give out, we’ll also be joined by the wildly quick cars of the Tire Rack SCCA Time Attack Challenge.

The Tire Rack Ultimate Track Car Challenge is presented by Grassroots Motorsports in association with WilwoodVitour TireCRC IndustriesVbox Motorsport and Red Line Oil, with trophies from BimmerWorldNine Lives Racing and Falken Tire.
