With confirmation of an Australian Kart Championship round, the Townsville Kart Club is in for a big year of racing in 2026.
The season will kick off with a club favourite, the Australia Day Cup in January. There will then be a 6-round Club Championship series, the AKC round, a 2-day AKC Shakedown meeting, plus the final round of the NQ Series in October.
The club is delighted to have snatched a round of AKC.
“This is a truly special moment for our club. We haven’t held a national-level event since hosting the one-off Australian Sprint Kart Championship over Easter in 2009” the club posted.

“To welcome Australia’s premier multi-round championship to our circuit for the very first time is an incredible milestone for our region and our next generation of racers.”
