The South Pacific Titles are back and set to ignite the Orange Kart Club this Saturday and Sunday, March 22–23.

Seventy-two years after the inaugural South Pacific Motor Racing Championship, the Orange Kart Club continues to honour its heritage as the custodian of this iconic meeting. Originally held at the Gnoo Blas Racing Circuit, the South Pacific Championships were a pivotal round of the Australian Drivers’ Championship.

Motorsport legend Sir Jack Brabham triumphed at the event in 1958, and thanks to the foresight of founding member Max Stewart, the legacy lives on at the Orange Kart Club.

During the 1970s, the South Pacific Titles attracted international acclaim, featuring elite drivers such as Fullerton, Yip, Pizarro, and Ingall. More recently, motorsport stars including Mark “Frosty” Winterbottom, Marcos Ambrose, Jamie Whincup, Mark Webber, and Tim Leahey have graced the circuit, adding to its storied past.

Karting in Orange dates back to

the early 1960s, with the first

dedicated track established in the late ’60s and subsequent upgrades in the ’70s and ’90s.

Today, the Orange Kart Circuit is considered one of Australia’s premier kart tracks. Former Formula 1 driver Mark Webber himself declared Orange his favourite karting venue, cementing its status in the motorsport world.

The 2025 South Pacific Titles promise to be bigger than ever, with $10,000 in prizes up for grabs over two days of thrilling racing action. The event will feature a zero-points system, paying homage to its retro roots, with qualifying rounds, three heats, a prefinal, and final.

Classes include: Novice, Rookies, Junior Light and Heavy, 4SS Light, Medium, and Heavy, Senior Performance Mid, and TaG Restricted Mid.

The Orange Kart Club committee welcome fans to join them at the Orange Track for this unmissable event.
