PROUD SPONSOR OF THE 2009 AUSTRALIAN SUPERKART CHAMPIONSHIPS 

 

Superkarting is an exhilarating and high performance form of motor racing.  

Likened to a miniature Formula1, the Superkart is not a hybrid of racing car and go-kart, it is a vehicle in its own right.  With average power to weight ratio of 2.9, Superkarts hold outright lap records at many tracks world-wide.  Superkarting is a high performance, affordable motor sport.  Sensation to cost is second to no other form of motor racing.

6 speed 250cc, 125cc Rotax and GP motorcycle engines, 4 wheel disk brakes, full bodywork with rear wing - Superkarting is not an entry to motor sport, it is a progression to a more dynamic and affordable form of motor sport for many sprint karters, motorbike and car racers.

With a low centre of gravity and high power to weight, superkarts are responsive to small adjustments.  One thing that makes the racing experience so exciting is that you feel like you're part of the kart.

”You're looking at the convergence of the highest imaginable performance in the smallest possible package.  This is not a go-kart"

Superkarts Classes

As the bang gets Bigger, the Bucks get higher, that's the same everywhere!  Superkart prices range from around $3000 to over $25,000, so most budgets can be accommodated.  Competitive racing abounds in all classes, so you won't be compelled to spend big to get good racing.  Classes are structured to not just suit budgets, but also age, driving and mechanical ability.

250cc International

The twin cylinder 85+ hp 250cc GP and other specialist Karting engines crank out some startling performance that sees this class as the fastest racing kart globally, and at the pointy end of timesheets compared against almost anything!

250cc National

These torquey single cylinder 250cc Motocross based engines are fitted up to a 250 chassis, which is usually slightly larger than the smaller engine classes.

125cc Gearbox

You're starting to get into Grand Prix engines now!  This popular class is dominated by those GP 125 race motors fitted with sweet changing sequential gearboxes.

125cc Rotax Max

These are sprintkart formula based to provide a non-gearbox long circuit entry level.  A controlled engine class that is perfect for modest budgets that allows setup and driver skill to shine.
