"The Ultimate Motor Racing Thrill!"
Superkarting in South Australia, is run by the Adelaide Superkart Club which is affiliated with and sanctioned by CAMS (Confederation of Australian Motorsport) and is conducted in a strictly controlled environment.
The club began in 1971 as the Adelaide Kart Club. It was born from the members of the Gokart Club of South Australia in order to promote long circuit kart racing.
Our home track is Mallala Motorsport Park just 55km north of Adelaide. Mallala is a 2.6km flat track with a variety of turns and straights that make it ideal for superkarts.
Superkarting is probably as close as you will ever get to the feel of Formula One motor racing. The Adelaide Superkart Club provides entry level, affordable motorsport for its members, who range in age from 12 - 60 and is combined with a friendly club environment.
Superkarts can cost as little as $3500 for a used 125cc Rotax (new $7500 approx.), through to the mid-range 125cc Gearbox karts ($5000-$9000), right up to the sensational 250cc International karts which range in price from $8,000 to $20,000 or more.
Superkarts race on all major motor racing circuits across Australia, including Phillip Island, Eastern Creek, Mallala, Oran Park, Winton, Queensland Raceway, Calder Park and Wakefield Park.
Whichever way you look at it, Superkarting can provide the 'Ultimate Motor Racing Thrill' at the most affordable price.
