AKC Shakedown – Ipswich Kart Club 🏁
The final hit-out before Round 2 of the Australian Karting Championship at Ipswich Kart Club — and what a statement it was.
Both drivers came to play.
Brodie
Random grid? No problem. Started from the rear in Heat 1 and charged through to P3. From there, it was lights out:
P1 in Heat 2, P1 in Heat 3, and P1 in the Final.
Clinical. Fast. Untouchable.
Oskar (KA2)
Almost a carbon copy. From last to P3 in Heat 1, then straight to the front:
P1 in Heat 2, P1 in the Pre-Final, and P1 in the Final.
KA2 is the pinnacle of junior karting in Australia, and for Oskar to take his first win at Ipswich just one week out from AKC Round 2 is huge.
Driver was on. Kart was dialed. Ex*****on was elite.
Oskar (KA3)
Didn’t come easy—but that made it even more impressive.
Qualified P13 after a tough session, then suffered a DNF in Heat 2 after the rear bar was torn off.
From there, it was all fight:
P5 in Heat 3 → P9 to P4 in the Final.
Another lap or two and we were right in it. Massive drive under pressure.
The Statement 📊
Fastest laps in all three classes in the Finals.
Purple sectors all day.
Speed? Everywhere.
Momentum is building at exactly the right time.
Next stop: the Australian Karting Championship.

A huge thank you to everyone who came out to support and witness Oskar’s first KA2 win — it meant a lot.
Big thanks to James for stepping in and mechanicing for Oskar all day, allowing Brodie to focus on racing. The two worked seamlessly, and he fit straight into the team from the moment he arrived.
Brodie handled his own kart throughout the day as well, with support from Regan — a solid team effort all around.
Thanks Mum and Dad for being there, and to all the sponsors who continue to back the journey.
