Red CentreNATS

Red CentreNATS is a unique automotive festival, held on the first weekend of September each year in spectacular Alice Springs.

The event combines burnouts, drag racing (including Top Fuel), other driving events, show and shines, 4WD challenges and a massive cruise thorugh the city centre.

Besides the incredible location, the event offers owners of otherwise illegal street machines to drive them on the street during the event.

There are many trophies up for grabs at Red CentreNATS, but the highest honour is the title for Grand Champion, which goes to the car that scores the highest in a number of disciplines.
