Queensland Super Sprint Series/in /

6 Mar 2026 to 18 Oct 2026. Next Date: 26 Jun 2026

by

The QLD Super Sprint Series is an annual event run by Warwick District Sporting Car Club. It’s iconic to Morgan Park raceway and has its differences to most other events. At the QSSS it isn’t your best lap time, rather your best session for the weekend that will get you to the top of the leaderboard.

The QSSS is divided up into 3 groups. These are the A, B and C series. There is no ranking for the series as such, but each series will have different categories to enter in them. This means the A, B and C are just the name of the series (could be blue, red, green for example)

The Warwick Pentathrun is a weekend event held at the end of May each year. It comprises five races, each of which is a different “type” of race, which means a competitor has completed a Marathon Distance over the weekend in five different events.

Starting with a half marathon Saturday morning, followed by breakfast and a bus back to the start (yes, it is one of the rare race events where you get to run somewhere and not just in a circuit), then after a short rest, 5km flat road race.

The Saturday concludes with a 4.5km cross country followed by presentations. Sunday sees an early start for a 10km hill descent / ascent at Killarney, finishing again with complimentary breakfast, and the weekend concludes with a 1600-meter “optimile sprint” race at the Warwick racecourse.

This exhibition challenges conventional approaches to photography, focusing on motion, abstraction, and spontaneity. Through deliberate camera movements during long exposures, we create expressive, fluid images that blur the line between photography and painting.

Enjoy this celebration of the beauty found in the unexpected, encouraging us all to look beyond the ordinary and embrace the extraordinary potential of our everyday environments.
