It's all systems go for the 2026 Capelli Australian Indoor Championships. We have enough entries for all classes except ISTC Mod, so if you have an entry in, we can be sure you can race!

Haven't entered ? It's not too late. Can't make it til Saturday ? We have controlled practice on Saturday from 8am so you will have plenty of time to adapt to the carpet!

https://actmcrc.org.au/event/269

Worried about a carpet setup ? The good news is, the AusBite carpet is not ultra high grip, so an aphalt setup will be a safe starting point and your car will be easy to drive.

See the map below for details on where to park and how to access the Gym at St Francis Xavier College.

No need to bring tables or chairs, we have you covered. Traction compound and tyre cleaner are available as part of your entry fee. (If you want to use your own cleaner at your pitt table, please use Wurth - which we will have available for purchase).
