ABOUT FARA'S Super Lap Series

Representing the FARA Academy’s cream of the crop, designed for veteran HPDE drivers with more than 30+ track days.

The Super Lap Series is the pinnacle of FARA's HPDE offerings, and it’s our unique take on the popular Time Trials or Time Attack competitions, tailored for seasoned drivers aiming for an entry to competition without the extensive costs associated with building a dedicated track vehicle. The series is exclusive to modified street cars—vehicles that drivers might use to commute to and from the track, enhanced with track-focused modifications such as coilovers, camber plates, 200 treadwear tires, and bucket seats, yet retaining the ability to SAFELY drive on the street.

The Super Lap Series features podium ceremonies throughout each FARA event weekend, and points are assessed for EACH day of competition. At the end of each season, during the FARA Championships, a final SLS podium will aggregate points and honor the year's top performers from each Super Lap Series class.

Our easy-to-understand rules won’t leave you scratching your head. Simply complete the Class Calculator below, find your class, and start competing!

 

To be eligible to compete in the Super Lap Series, your car must meet ALL of the following requirements:

 

  • Street-legal: Has valid state registration plates attached + Insurance

  • Does NOT have a full cage

  • Has all OEM windows

  • Mass-produced (at least 10K units)

  • Is not open-wheel

 

*If you can legally, safely, and reasonably drive it to the grocery store in the rain, then it should be OK to compete.

2025 CLASS CALCULATOR

Our Class Calculator makes it easy for you to quickly find out which class your car falls into. Simply choose the appropriate response to each dropdown and see the results at the bottom.

2024 SUPER LAP SERIES CHAMPIONS

COMPLETE SUPER LAP SERIES RULES

Important Series Information & Things You’ll Need:

  • Please READ the SLS Rule Book

  • You will need a TR2 Transponder with an active subscription. You can purchase one here.

  • All cars in SLS MUST be street-legal and have state registration plates attached.
  • Along with the mandatory car numbers, every car competing in SLS must have the appropriate class designation displayed on both sides of the car. This can be the fenders or the rear quarter panel window. We are providing all new drivers participating in SLS in 2025 a FREE set of official FARA SLS decals, as a way to say "Thank you".  You are allowed to run your own.  You can also purchase additional FARA SLS Class decals at the track. 

  • You need to be an approved Advanced Solo driver with FARA, and an annual SLS competition license is also required. 

  • Drivers who already hold an active and valid TT or Competition License from another sanctioning body will be automatically approved for entry into SLS. However, those drivers will still need to purchase an annual SLS competition license.

  • Drivers new to FARA’s Super Lap Series can register for an event on a provisional basis, but may be required to go through an evaluation process.

  • All HPDE & helmet requirements still apply to SLS.

  • Drivers will need to fill out the SLS Class Calculator above and submit it to SLS officials for approval. Drivers will not be allowed to compete in SLS without the official calculator submission or SLS comp license.

  • The SL5 class is strictly restricted to cars under 200 whp. All Mazda cars competing in SLS must have a Mazda or MZR motor to be eligible for contingency prizes.
  • SLS drivers are not permitted to have passengers during SLS sessions.

NOTE: The series was created for advance HPDE drivers to have a way to compete. To that end, the series is purely for fun and any changes or updates to the rules or classifications, including DQs, are at the SOLE DISCRETION of the SLS Director, as long as these changes are made within the spirit of fair competition (or balance of power [BOP]). All protests should be handled by the SLS director. If an unbiased resolution is not possible, the protest will be handled by the Academy Director.
