Griffith Kart Club is deeply saddened by the passing of Matt Payne. Matt Payne

From the moment we first met you and then having the privilege of welcoming you to our club, you fit right in like family. Maybe it was the good plate of pasta, the tiramisu, or perhaps the wine flowing freely, you belonged.

Your kindness, warmth, and wealth of knowledge touched everyone who had the privilege of knowing you. You always took the time to help the kids, answering their questions, sharing your experience, and encouraging them whenever you could.
Your words of support over the years, especially throughout the past year, came straight from a kind and caring heart. The impact you made on the karting community, and on all of us personally, will never be forgotten.

Our thoughts and heartfelt condolences are with your mother, Helen, and your brother, Daniel, during this incredibly difficult time.

You were more than the sound beyond the revving engines. You were a voice of knowledge, wisdom, and encouragement. Your passion for the sport was a joy to listen to. Hearing the sound of your voice will be greatly missed.

We know there is someone up ready for a chat! 🪽🪽

Rest in peace, Matt. 🎤 🏎️

What a weekend. ❤️

Thank you to everyone who supported the Joseph Bianchini Memorial 2026.
It was a Success because of the people behind it — and we want to take a moment to recognise those who made it all possible.
To our officials who ensured the event ran smoothly from start to finish, your professionalism and dedication never go unnoticed.
To our club members who put in countless hours in the lead-up and right throughout the weekend, this event simply doesn’t happen without you.
To our sponsors, your support allows us to build something bigger every year.
And to the general public who came out to support the event — thank you for being part of something truly special.
A special thank you to Tim Francis for the amazing photos captured throughout the weekend — moments like these will live on because of your work.
And to Matt Payne for the commentary across the event and for hosting Friday night, helping create such a great atmosphere for everyone involved.
The atmosphere over the weekend was felt by us all, and by those who made the trip from near and far. You could feel the heart and love in the paddock and out on track — something that can’t be manufactured, only created by great people coming together.
The way everyone came together to honour both Josephs’ memories will stay with us for a long time. It means more than words can say — not just to us as a club, but to the entire Bianchini family.
The memories made over the weekend are what this event is all about. We hope everyone takes something special away from it — something that lasts. Because those of you who were part of it… are all part of our karting family. ❤️

See you in 2027. 🙌
