January Newsletter 2025 Superkarts Australia
30th January 2025
Welcome to the 2025 race season and it is obvious things are starting to look a lot better now after COVID put the brakes on almost everything including Superkarting. The Qld club is going from strength to strength with new members and that has come from a lot of perseverance and hard work doing static displays at all kinds of events. Unfortunately, our response from the GC 500 V8 Supercar event was Zero but you can never come away from one of those events packed with motor race enthusiasts and say it was a waste of time. The Qld club will be doing the GC 500 again as well as the V8s at Queensland Raceway. Most of the average people who want to get involved in motor racing are realising the cost is way out of reach with all the car categories and that really puts Superkarting out front for affordable racing. If I could give any advice to the other state clubs, it would be to get active and start doing displays again. If you wait for new members to come along on their own,t it will not happen and you need to get out there and sell the sport. It’s a bit of work but could make the clubs see good numbers again and you only have to do it two or three times a year. The bar has really been risen with the quality and presentation of the karts these days and our Superkarts are looking spectacular.
SKA would like to announce that the Australian Superkart Championships will be held again at Tailem Bend on the 19th, 20th and 21st September. The management at Tailem Bend are doing everything they can to support SKA Superkarting and they also commented on how spectacular the karts looked. Put the date in your diary and come and race at the best and smoothest track in Australia. So, in September, race on a great track and not a goat track.
Last year the team from WA made a huge effort with travelling just to enjoy the top level of racing and it is so easy for the SA drivers and even the Victorian drivers with only 6 hour travel time. For Qld and NSW it is also a bit of a marathon to get there but worth every effort for all drivers to compete in an Australian Championship as the bar gets lifted to another level.
Keep tuned for more updates
