COFFS Harbour Kart Racing Club has hosted the country’s best kart drivers during the opening round of the Australian Kart Championship.
The opening round was held over three days of world-class racing, as the Australian Kart Championship series got underway in Coffs Harbour.
Seth Huth was one of the many visiting drivers from across Australia who hit the Coffs track in pursuit of valuable championship points.
The 16-year-old from Gladstone, Queensland is already well-versed in the national series, having competed at the Australian Kart Championship from the age of seven.
He raced in the KA2 class in this year’s opening round, finishing 12th out of 30 drivers in the final.
The Queenslander said the Coffs track provided good racing.
“It’s good for racing, it’s good for overtaking and helps competition,” he said.
His young racing career has already seen him compete overseas, in a round of a series in Las Vegas in 2022.
The young gun had ambitions of a career in Australia’s premier motorsport series.
“I want to race in Supercars, and my favourite driver is Thomas Randle,” he said.
The Australian Kart Championship is held over five rounds, with Round 2 to be held in Ipswich in May.
