COFFS Harbour Kart Racing Club is set to host a big three days of racing this long weekend, as it honours one of its most treasured former members.
The 2025 Australian Kart Masters Honouring Ian Brown will be held from Friday 6 June to Sunday 8 June, at the Coffs Harbour Kart Racing Club.
The event was renamed in 2023 to honour the life of Ian Brown, who was an integral member of the Coffs Harbour club over many years.
The Australian Kart Masters is an event he worked passionately to elevate into a National fixture for seasoned drivers aged 40 and above.
Competitors vie for the prestigious National Grey Plate in their respective classes.
This year, some classes will see a reduction in the age limit to 35 years, including KA3 Senior and Ladies Race (TaG Restricted) and DD2 Masters (32 years as per the rule book).
The other classes on offer for Over 40’s competitors are: TaG Restricted Light, Medium and Heavy, 4SS Light and Heavy, 4SS Supermaxx Light and Medium.
In addition to honouring Ian Brown, the event also honours former club member Russell Grimson, with the class boasting the most competitors competing for his Memorial Trophy.
Coffs Harbour Kart Racing Club will also host the final round of the Australian Kart Championship on 5-7 September.
