DRAMA FILLED FINALE AS RAIN HITS KART CHAMPIONSHIP

The Penrite Australian Kart Championship flirted with inclement weather all weekend in Ipswich for the second round, but heavy rain waited until the final race of the weekend to trigger a boilover.

As the field assembled on the grid for the KA2 final, just one third of the grid rolled the dice on running wet weather LeCont tyres, while the majority of front runners anticipated a dry race.

It was midrace when the heavens opened, leaving dominant front runner Levi Doessel to be swallowed up at lap 10 by Melbourne student Cooper Boyle who started 23rd on the grid with wet weather tyres.

Boyle would roll into Velcro Victory Lane ahead of Archer Bailey and Ryan Webster to fill a shock podium that has thrown the KA2 championship chase into uproar.

KZ2 also produced an upset with 14 year-old New Zealander Lachlan Tombleson leading from start to finish to hold off a hard charging Leon Cordato who started from the third row to finish second ahead of Jay Coul.

X30 was topped by Max Walton, Tyson McGill and Jace Matthews, while Harrison Hoey prevailed over Kiahn Burt and Jaiden Pope in TaG125. The pair of victories by Walton and Hoey, moved the Tony Kart brand to 50 round wins in the history of the Australia’s highest profile karting Championships.

Toby Spinks, Zac Heard and Jett Seraghi topped the KA3 Senior final, while the KA3 Junior spoils went to Jensen Damaschino, Monty Jamieson and Cruz Patroni.

The rivalry in Cadet 12 is beginning to draw attention, with Hudson Petta holding off Knox Black and Brock Nolan, however Cadet 9 claimed the most intense battle of the weekend, with Harry Lack and Max Gosling swapping the lead five times before Lack claimed the win over Gosling and Grayson McHugh.

The championship now heads to Townsville for the first time for round three on July 3-5, broadcast live and free on 7+ with free entry for spectators onsite.

Grassroots motorsport in South Australia is feeling the strain as rising fuel prices begin to hit events where it hurts most: competitor numbers, spectator attendance, and event viability.

Off The Street Australia says the pressure is already being seen on the ground, with two venues cancelling upcoming events due not only to low numbers, but also because of the growing cost of petrol and diesel. For many competitors, officials, and fans, the cost of simply getting to an event is becoming too much.

The issue is especially severe for grassroots motorsport, where participants often travel long distances towing cars, carrying spare parts, tyres, tools, and equipment. Diesel costs have surged in South Australia, while petrol prices have also remained a major concern for households and travellers. That flow-on effect is now being felt across the motorsport community.

When fuel rises sharply, motorsport becomes harder to justify for everyday people. Competitors pull out, crews scale back, spectators stay home, and venues are left trying to run events without the numbers needed to make them viable. For a scene that depends on strong turnouts and community participation, those cost pressures can quickly turn into cancellations.

Off The Street Australia says this is exactly why South Australia needs more accessible and affordable motorsport infrastructure closer to the metro area. When people are forced to travel hours to attend or compete, fuel becomes one of the biggest barriers to entry. In the current climate, that barrier is growing fast.
The broader concern is that this is no longer just a one-off inconvenience. Fuel prices have become a wider cost-of-living issue across South Australia, and motorsport is one of many sectors being affected. Families are cutting discretionary spending, and that includes weekend events, track days, burnouts, and club meets.

This comes at a time when grassroots motoring participation has otherwise been receiving support and recognition in South Australia. But if travel and transport costs continue to climb, those gains risk being undone by simple affordability.

Off The Street Australia believes the cancellations are an early warning sign. The passion for motorsport is still there, but passion alone cannot cover the cost of towing vehicles, filling transporters, and making long regional trips every weekend.

If fuel prices remain high and attendance keeps dropping, more events could be placed at risk in the months ahead.
