| Scrap cars are no match for a 1750bhp Monster Truck |

Qualifying
Each monster truck gets one qualifying run to determine its placing in the races. After qualifying, the fastest truck will race the slowest, the second fastest the second slowest and so on.
Racing
Each truck races against each of the competitors with the winning truck receiving three points and the loser one point - with no points awarded if a truck fails to complete the course. Breakdowns can be quite common, considering the heights at which the trucks land from after jumping the cars. After all trucks have raced each other, the third- and fourth-placed trucks compete again for third place and the top two scorers race for the crown.

Championship points
The overall winner of the racing receives 100 championship points; second place, 65; third, 40; fourth, 20; fifth, 10; and sixth, 5.
If a monster truck touches a hay bale marker during racing then they are immediately disqualified and receive no championship points.
If mechanical breakdown prevents a truck from completing a race then again, no points are scored.
Freestyle
In addition to the race championship, at each race meeting there is a separate freestyle championship, where each competitor has 90seconds to impress the crowds. During their allocated time, monster trucks will jump and crush cars, perform perfect donuts and generally do things a 5,000Kg heap of metal shouldn't be able to do.
