Despite a few hiccups in both Queensland and Victoria with short lockdowns, it has been a great start to the year and while there is still a long way to go, there has been positive news from the State Governments.

As has been evidenced by the lockdowns, the challenges that we all faced throughout the COVID-19 Pandemic during 2020 is still a long way from being behind us – we all need to remain vigilant and stay on track of the requirements placed on our premises through the Public Health Orders and Directions.

All Go Kart Club of Victoria members (or parents) will now be offered the option for more convenient practice days at any time of the week with personal access via our electronic gate. This will provide members with the flexibility of practicing providing they are appropriately Licenced Karting Australia officials.

Members who are not Licenced Karting Australia Officals will only be provided access at specific times published by GKCV.

The process to obtain your Licenced Karting Officials Licence - Grade 4 is as follows:

Complete the online courses via Karting Australia web site – there are 4 core subjects  – once completed you will gain your Grade 4 Officials Licence

To start these courses you need to email the below address and ask for a Officials Academy Log in
