Southern
Go Kart
Club

Started in 1960, the Southern Go Kart Club has grown from a simple dirt circuit then to now being the premier kart facility in South Australia with 982 metres of bitumen, a circuit capacity of 36 karts and 4 unique track configurations. A maximum lateral G-Force of 3.2G is pulled and speeds in excess of 110km/h are reached.

"Not sure there’s a better track to coach at than Southern Go Kart Club. A mix of hairpins, sweepers, fast chicanes & tyre wear all come into play. There’s a reason SA drivers continually produce champions."
Dave Sera - National Champion

South Australia's premier kart racing facility.

Home to the Adelaide City Titles, Australian Day Classic and Adelaide 4SS Enduro and regular host of the Festival State Cup, South Australian Kart Championship and Australian Karting Championship.

The Track

We currently offer 2 track configurations, the longer “Championship” configuration and the shorter and original “Classic” configuration. The track is a highly technical circuit that requires the perfect racing line to extract maximum lap speed and is also a physically demanding circuit. Both layouts can be run in anti-clockwise and clockwise directions, the nature of each layout changes significantly with race direction.

Spectator grandstands are available at “the sweeper” and along the main straight, both of which allow viewing of the entire circuit. Indoor air conditioned viewing from the club rooms is available along the main straight.

Women In Racing

Karting is the adrenaline sport for everyone. Our sport can be enjoyed by both females and males of all ages. 

  • Increasing the participation of females in motorsport is a club priority.
     

  • Females are under-represented in motorsport which we are striving to change as karting is a sporting field in which both genders can compete together on an equal footing.
