Buckle up, Griffith! From October 31 to November 2, the Ultimate Club Racer V will bring high-octane racing, festival vibes and community energy to southern NSW, in one of the most thrilling regional motorsport events of the year.

This new chapter was made possible by a powerful partnership between Griffith Kart Club, Griffith City Council and Sports Marketing Australia, highlighting the incredible impact of sport-led regional activation.

More than a race weekend, Ultimate Club Racer V is a celebration of grassroots motorsport, with club-level champions getting the spotlight and spectators experiencing non-stop action. With thousands of dollars in prizes up for grabs across multiple categories, this event is designed for the everyday racer looking to make a mark on the national stage.

“Hosting an event of this calibre in Griffith is a fantastic opportunity for our community,” said Mayor Doug Curran. “We’re thrilled to welcome competitors and their families to enjoy our hospitality and explore everything the Griffith region has to offer.”

To maintain the integrity of the competition, recent Australian Kart Championship podium finishers are restricted, ensuring a fair and fiercely competitive field for club racers.

“This event is all about celebrating the true backbone of karting,” said Lee Hanatschek, Chief Operating Officer at Karting Australia.
