Karting Australia has confirmed it intends for the Australian Kart Championship round scheduled for July 23-25 at the Puckapunyal circuit in regional Victoria to go ahead. Interstate competitors will have to obtain the relevant travel permit to enter Victoria.
KA today issued the statement below:
Karting Australia advises Round Four of the 2021 SP Tools Australian Kart Championship presented by Castrol EDGE will proceed as planned on July 23-25, 2021*.
The event will be hosted by the Eastern Lions Kart Club in Seymour, Victoria with a maximum of 1,000 people in attendance to ensure compliance with the Restricted Activity Directions (No. 17) published by the Victorian Government.
All personnel travelling to participate in the event should continually monitor the current COVID-19 situation for their region and familiarise themselves and abide by the Victorian Travel Permit System (https://www.coronavirus.vic.gov.au/victorian-travel-permit-system).
Competitors who may be unable to attend the event due to COVID19 travel restrictions, are reminded that the final Championship Points have been structured so that a Driver’s lowest accumulated total points from a Round are removed from the overall total. For the sake of clarity, this means that a Driver who is unable to make the Round will be able to ‘drop’ the Round and still be in contention for the overall Championship.
