Could Canberra’s next great sporting event take place between two parked cars?

Inspired by a viral parallel parking championship in Philadelphia, the team floated the idea of bringing the competition to Canberra. Drivers would battle to park in the fewest manoeuvres, with cameras and parking sensors banned.

The proposed Canberra version could include one mystery manual car, no practice runs and a closed-off city street packed with spectators. The ultimate prize? Free Canberra parking for a year.

It is only an on-air idea for now, but should Canberra make it happen?
