While not as intense or high-stakes as the Blue Ribbon Events or Speedweek, the Stampede Series still offers solid competition, prize money, and a chance for drivers to sharpen their skills in a more relaxed, enjoyable environment.
Held at well-known tracks like Avalon Raceway, Simpson Speedway, and Laang Speedway, and many other venues the series consists of multiple rounds where drivers compete in heats and a feature race, earning points toward the overall standings. The variety of track sizes and surfaces keeps the racing unpredictable and exciting, challenging drivers to adapt and improve. Frequent lead changes and tight battles make the Stampede Series a fan Favorite and a consistent highlight on the Victorian racing calendar.
The Stampede Series plays a key role in developing drivers in the Formula 500/600 Micro sprint division by providing an accessible and supportive racing platform. It’s designed to encourage driver growth, foster a fun and inclusive racing atmosphere, and keep the community engaged through family-friendly events and strong local involvement. While it may not carry the prestige of the top-tier events, it delivers the same excitement, passion, and spirit that define Formula 500 racing in Victoria.
