Annual Pit Shelter Hire:

It is that time of year again when our pit shelters come up for annual hire. All pit shelter holders for last year have until the end of the month to secure a pit shelter for this year. An email went out in the last 2 weeks to all holders of pit shelters for last year.
As of 1st Feb any remaining pit shelters will be on offer to all other members so keep on eye on your emails if you are wanting one for this year.

Karting Australia has officially approved a new exhaust socket for TAG Restricted (TAG-R) competition. This updated socket features a profiled design that replaces the current flat plate restrictor.

Competitors can expect a noticeable performance improvement, along with easier and more consistent engine tuning thanks to the new design. We expect that this new restrictor will allow Rotax engines to race competitively in TAG Restricted once again.

Importantly, this approval also means Rotax engines can now be run in TAG-R using the latest cylinder specification. We know some racers previously preferred the older cylinder with the flat plate restrictor, and this update addresses that concern.

With KA approval now confirmed, we have advised Rotax to begin the first production run of the new exhaust socket. We will notify everyone as soon as stock arrives! At this stage, availability is expected around February-March 2026.

This is a significant and exciting step forward for Rotax in TAG-R, and we look forward to seeing the benefits on track! 🔥
