Australia's Best For Puckapunyal Karting Nationals

17 March 2010

Aspiring kart racers are coming from all across the country to compete at the National Sprint Kart Championships held at the Hume International Raceway in Puckapunyal, Victoria over Easter (April 2-4).

With 356 entries received across the ten categories being contested at the prestigious event, the race will be on to see who will be crowned the National Champion in their respective category.

“The National Championships certainly brings out the best drivers from all across the country to compete, especially when the event is held at such a great venue such as the Hume International Raceway,” said National Event co-ordinator Pam Arnett.

“Karting is a sport you can be competitive in with a relatively small budget while still enjoying the thrill of Motorsport and is a legitimate ‘stand alone’ field of competitive motorsport.

“The sport offers you much more than just a chance to race a go-kart, it provides you with a lifestyle for you and your family along with the opportunity to make some great friendships.

“Generally you will find that each driver will have at least two, possibly up to four, family members, mechanics and supporters who will travel to the event with them, all of whom the local economy will benefit from. Highlighting this information is the fact that accommodation for the weekend in the region is at a premium with very few hotels not already booked out many months ago.”

It is estimated the local economy stands to receive a boost in the vicinity of $550,000 from the championships as the racing drivers, mechanics, teams and associates begin arriving during the final week of March to gain valuable practice for the event beginning on April 2.

Of the ten categories being contested, the Clubman Light field is the largest with 56 competitors vying to be part of the line up of 40 for the championship final. Competing in this category are such high-quality drivers as defending champion David Sera, Ben Stewart, Jason Burns along with young guns Christopher Hays, Warren White Jnr and Adam Lindstrom.

The Hume International Raceway is one of the best karting venues in the country and last hosted the National Championships in 2004.

Qualifying will be held on Friday April 2 with heat races to be contested on Saturday April 3 followed by the Championship Finals on Sunday April 4.
