Contested within a single race season, the Superstock Grand Slam Cup is a series based on the rankings points scored at each of the Grand Slam Championship events.

While each meeting has stories and winners of its own, the kiwisuperstocks Grand Slam Cup combines these results to find the top driver of the season across all the major events.

HOW THE GRAND SLAM CUP WORKS
The Superstock Grand Slam Cup is a series contested within a single race season, and is based on the rankings points scored at the five major Grand Slam Championships contested around the country. Each season four of these championships move to different cities, testing the ability of drivers and crew to adapt to the different venues.

These are the iconic events on our racing calendar, that have a large following by both drivers and fans over a long period of time. Effectively the Grand Slam Cup is a 'national series' based on existing meetings, therefore requiring no additional commitment from drivers apart from their regular forays into the championship schedule.

At a Grand Slam event, drivers earn points for attending, then qualifying for the finals, with the Top 10 placegetters scoring additional points scaled on finishing positions.

The Grand Slam events are:
* New Zealand Championship
* World Invitation Championship
* New Zealand Grand Prix
* South Island Championship
* North Island Championship

Each driver is able to contest a maximum of four Grand Slam titles, as drivers are only permitted to race in the Island Championship relevant to the home track location as per Speedway New Zealand regulations.

At the conclusion of the Grand Slam race programme, the top points scorer will be announced as the Grand Slam Cup Champion.

GRAND SLAM CUP HISTORY
The 2007 race season was the first (public) running of this competition, so at this stage there is not actually much history to the Superstock Grand Slam Cup.
