COFFS Harbour Kart Racing Club is preparing to host Australia’s best kart drivers.
The club will stage Round 1 of the Australian Kart Championship next week.
The opening round is being held over three big days of racing from Friday 13 March to Sunday 15 March.
Coffs Harbour has hosted a round of the Championship in the past two years, but this will be the first time it hosts the series opener.
As the premier karting championship in the Southern Hemisphere, the event attracts the best drivers from across Australia, New Zealand, and Asia, all competing for the honour of being crowned Australian Champion in their respective class.
Formerly known as the Australian CIK Championship and the CIK Stars of Karting, the Australian Kart Championship started in 2015 and expanded to incorporate the National Championships for a wide variety of classes to cater for the karting community.
The five round series is also being held in Ipswich and Townsville in Queensland, Seymour in Victoria, and Bolivar in South Australia.
Coffs Harbour Kart Racing Club will also be hosting their East Coast Easter Titles on 3-5 April.
