🏁 WELCOME TO TOWNSVILLE for Rd3 of the Australian Kart Championship 🏁
The countdown is on and the place is already buzzing!
Setup day was in full swing today, the facility is looking fantastic, and we reckon there’s already been a few hundred track walks done… with a few more “just one more lap to check the kerb” walks still to come. 😆
A massive thank you to all the volunteers who have been working hard behind the scenes to get everything looking sharp and ready to go. The effort that goes into preparing an event like this is huge, and it definitely doesn’t go unnoticed. 👏
And how good is this Townsville winter weather shaping up?
☁️ Thursday: Cloudy, 16–28°C
☁️ Friday: Cloudy, 16–28°C
☁️ Saturday: Cloudy, 16–28°C
☀️ Sunday: Fine, 16–28°C
Perfect karting weather. Not too hot, not too cold… just enough to make everyone think they’ve found grip. 😉
