The Shortcar Racing Team has developed and have the rights to manufacture the very fast, very demanding, very funny and ridiculous cheap, racing car; SHORTCAR.
2009 is the 8.season for SHORTCAR in Norway. We will be around 40 Shortcars in the series, growing each year.
Shortcar are sold as buliding kits (very complete). Most buliding are bolt on and the bulider also buy a engine, wheels/tyres, racingseat, steering wheel.
A kit cost app. 10.000Euro, and a complete, raceready car will cost app. 13.000Euro. A used Shortcar, good quality, will cost app. 12.000Euro in Norway. Car maintenance will cost app. 2000Euro a season (mostly tyres).
The car is approved for three disciplines in Norway and there will be an Official Norwegian Championship arranged in 2009 in:
- Racing.
- Rally cross.
- Hill racing (climbing).
The car is also performing extremely well on ice.
Facts in short:

- Glass Fiber Body.
- Fully Adjustable Chassis.
- Powered by Motor Cycle Engine 4-stroke. (Self picked by owner; often R1, GSXR1000R, ZX12R, ZX10R, etc.)
Goals in construction:
