🚗Pro Karts Automotive Challenge
Who’s the Real King of the Workshop?
It’s time to swap your wrench for a racing helmet and battle
it out on the track!
The Pro Karts Automotive Challenge is your chance to take on other local workshops in a high-speed, team endurance karting race that’s all about speed, strategy, and team spirit.
Who Can Enter?
This one’s just for the auto legends:
✅Mechanics
✅Auto Electricians
✅Panel Beaters
✅Car Painters
✅Car Yards
✅Tyre Shops
✅Detailers
✅Auto parts and trade suppliers
If you fix it, paint it, sell it, or soup it up – this is
your race.
How It Works
Teams of 3–5 people share one kart.
Entry is $260 per team – and includes:
🏁200-lap team relay race
🏁Practice session
🏁Pizza and drinks
🏁Custom trophy for the winners
🏁Massive bragging rights in the workshop
Smaller team? Get more drive time. Bigger team? Split the
cost. Your call.
The Race Format
This is a relay-style endurance challenge built for
motorsport-minded tradies.
🔴Minimum 11 pit stops per team
🔴Miss a stop? Disqualified!
🔴Deliberate contact = penalty stop
🔴3 warnings = extra stop = time lost
🔴Smart racing and slick pit strategy matter just as much as
raw speed.
What the Night Looks Like
🟢5:30PM – Arrival & Check-In
🟢6:00PM – Safety Briefing + Practice Laps
🟢6:20PM – Green flag drops
🟢~8:15PM – Race finish, prizegiving, photos
We’ll walk you through everything, give you warm-up laps to
test the kart, and then it’s go time. Expect friendly competition, plenty of laughs, and a bit of banter between rival shops.
🍕Tradie Fuel
Let’s be honest – you’re here to race and eat. We’ve got pizzas and light refreshments ready to keep the whole crew running strong.
🏆Trophies & Glory
Cross the line first (with all pit stops completed) and claim the custom Tradies Challenge trophy for your workplace. You’ll earn serious bragging rights – until next year, at least.
⚠Spots Are Limited
We only accept 13 teams max for this event. It’s first in, first served – and if you race this year, you get first dibs next time. Don’t wait around!
