2026 marks the 31st running of this event. Australian Kart Masters honouring Ian Brown, a celebration held during the King's birthday long weekend in June at the Coffs Harbour Kart Racing Club in New South Wales every year.

The Australian Kart Masters honouring Ian Brown, is an event that Brownie passionately worked to elevate into a National Event for seasoned drivers aged 40 and above. Competitors vie for the prestigious National grey plate in their respective classes.

Ian was the epitome of integrity; he was deeply connected to the go-kart track, and his contributions to the club were extraordinary—this is his enduring legacy.

At the event, everyone feels like family; friendships flourish, and while the racing is intense, the camaraderie continues with beers and laughter afterward—it's all about good times.

Mark your calendars for this annual event and prepare for a weekend filled with laps and enjoyment. Our track is fantastic, offering a thrilling driving experience and a wonderful social getaway.
