Teams Championship Added To Australian Kart Championship


  3 February 2016

For the first time in the Australian Kart Championship, a Teams Championship will be contested for registered kart teams across the series.

Harrington Doyle Racing Arrow Karts, Shamick Racing, AWC Motorsport Academy, Top Gun Racing and Patrizcorse have all registered for the Championship.

The point score for the Teams Championship will be based on the total points accumulated by the two highest point scoring drivers within a registered team in each class from each round.

Meanwhile, registered Manufacturers will begin the quest for the Karting Australia Manufacturers' Championship, currently held by the Australian-made Arrow brand after a sterling year in 2015.

The Melbourne-built DPE Kart Technology chassis overcame the Italian-made FA Kart brand during the final round of last year and the two brands are again registered for the prestigious title.

Other brands registered for the series are Ricciardo Kart, BirelART, CRG, Zanardi and Kosmic.

“Having the Arrow Karts brand win the Karting Australian Manufacturers Championship in 2015 was a real feather in the cap for everyone at DPE Kart Technology and we’re looking forward to taking on the other manufacturers again in 2016,” said Arrow Karts’ Bart Price.

“Every year we see more brands enter the Australian market and we’re proud to be as competitive as we have ever been.”

The opening round of the 2016 Australian Kart Championship presented by Jayco and Castrol EDGE kicks off with practice on Friday ahead of qualifying and heat races Saturday and the finals on Sunday.
