Karting Australia is delighted to announce the City of Coffs Harbour as the Host City Partner for the final round of the 2025 SP Tools Australian Kart Championship presented by Castrol.

The ‘Grand Final’ of Australia’s premier karting Championship will take place in the picturesque seaside city of Coffs Harbour from September 5-7, promising a weekend of world-class racing and significant economic benefit for the region.

This announcement follows the Championship’s successful debut at the Coffs Harbour Kart Racing Club in 2024, which generated an estimated $1.56 million in economic impact through visiting competitors, teams and spectators.

“We are thrilled to welcome back the Australian Kart Championship to Coffs Harbour. The event not only showcases elite karting talent but also brings significant economic and community benefits to our city. We look forward to working with Karting Australia to make the 2025 Grand Final an unforgettable experience for everyone involved,” said Mayor Nikki Williams.

Having the City of Coffs Harbour recognise the scale and value of hosting a round of the AKC is testament to the impact our sport delivers,” said O’Reilly.

“We are excited to be coming back to Coffs Harbour so soon and look forward to our competitors and spectators enjoying the great facilities at the Club and hospitality of the city.
