Your opportunity to be rewarded for lap consistency

Up for grabs is $50 for every driver who gets a ‘Triple’! If you can achieve three identical lap times in consecutive order during an official GSKC race in 2024, as measured on Speed Hive, the Club will reward your consistency with $50. So let’s get after chasing a ‘Triple’!

Tuesday Night Training

Tuesday night training is available throughout Term 1 of school. This has been very popular throughout February. Take advantage of the uninterrupted practice and register via KOMP under Social Karting at portal.karting.net.au/

Your opportunity to win a Black Plate

Later in the year we will be hosting the Karting Australia NSW closed State Title where class winners will be awarded a Black Plate.
