Classes

“One of the main attractions of Karting that brings thousands of people to race every weekend, is the cost of racing in comparison to other forms of motorsport.  Karting is the worlds cheapest form of motorsport and gives the same level of fun and excitement when compared to any other motorsport, all at a fraction of the cost.  Karting is the purest form of racing, and gives drivers a chance to show their skills, as competition is conducted to a set of strict rules and regulations that is aimed at keeping all competitors on a fair and equal playing ground.” (VKA)

 

Here at the Bairnsdale Kart Club, we cater for drivers of all ages with a range of classes available in both Junior and Senior age groups.

 

There are a number of Rules & Regulations that apply to all members of the Bairnsdale Kart Club and it is important that they are adhered to at all times  - please make sure you are familiar with them!
