🏁 WELCOME TO TOWNSVILLE for Rd3 of the Australian Kart Championship 🏁
The countdown is on and the place is already buzzing!

Setup day was in full swing today, the facility is looking fantastic, and we reckon there’s already been a few hundred track walks done… with a few more “just one more lap to check the kerb” walks still to come. 😆

A massive thank you to all the volunteers who have been working hard behind the scenes to get everything looking sharp and ready to go. The effort that goes into preparing an event like this is huge, and it definitely doesn’t go unnoticed. 👏

And how good is this Townsville winter weather shaping up?
☁️ Thursday: Cloudy, 16–28°C
☁️ Friday: Cloudy, 16–28°C
☁️ Saturday: Cloudy, 16–28°C
☀️ Sunday: Fine, 16–28°C

Perfect karting weather. Not too hot, not too cold… just enough to make everyone think they’ve found grip. 😉

🏁Strong Saturday at Australian Kart Masters!🏁

We wrapped up Saturday with some fantastic results across the board.

🔥 Tim Davis was outstanding in KA3 Heavy, securing Pole Position and taking victory in all heat races, showing incredible pace and consistency throughout the day.

In TaG Restricted Heavy, Tim continued his strong form, qualifying P2 and finishing the heats with two 2nd-place and one 3rd-place finish.
A brilliant effort!

👏 Brad Rees also delivered a solid performance in TaG Restricted Light, continuing his impressive development.
Starting from P11 in qualifying, Brad fought hard in every race and brought home top-10 finishes in all heats.

A great day for the team, with plenty to be proud of and everything to play for tomorrow.
