The latest newsletter from Chryss and the SKA team

4^th June 2025

The 2025 Superkart season has been ticking along nicely with the serious players in each respective state pulling out all stops to improve their lap times in preparation for some of the bigger events coming up later in the year.

In August the Queensland Superkart Club is holding the 50^th anniversary of the club starting up and the event will be held at Queensland Raceway and has already attracted a lot of interest from the southern drivers. The new track owner, Tony Quinn, has made massive amounts of improvements to the complex so anyone from down south who has not been to QR for a while will notice the huge face lift which has been undertaken there.

SKA are in the process of taking the Australian Superkart Championships to QR in 2027 and for spectators that place has it all.

The SKA committee have been working towards our Championship to be held at SHELL V-POWER MOTORSPORT PARK at Tailem Bend on the 19^th, 20^th and 21^st September so you have a bit under four months to get your race gear in top condition. There could be quite a few coming from WA this year as well.

SKA have been running the Australian Superkart Championships now since 2008 at a range of different venues and our main goal is to run good quality events. It is the most important and recognisable event of the year and to be a winner of this event is a memory a driver can carry for the rest of his life.

The entry package for this year will include Friday practice, Saturday and Sundays competition, garage hire and MyLaps timers which is the same as last years package. Entry fee TBA but should be about the same as last year.

SKA are in a combined group of car categories and every category is competing in a round of the Australian Championship so it will be a full-on weekend of serious racing. The numbers in Superkarting are back to where they were before COVID so we should see some good fields in all classes and some spectacular racing.

Last years winners in each class were

250 International                 Gary Pegoraro

250 National                       Brett Burvill

125 National GB                 Sebastian Amadio

Rotax Max light                   Doug Savage

Rotax heavy                       Patric Ross 

There could be some new lap records this year especially in the Rotax Max class with the introduction of the new cylinder. The 125 gearbox class will be the one to watch as well.

This will be a MA licence event using the current MA STR rules
