ROTAX STATE CUP — ROUND 3 | NEWCASTLE KART CLUB

The championship points have been updated and with 8 classes on the grid for the State Cup The KartShop has 2 drivers leading their respective championships/leaderboards with KartShop drivers holding a quarter of the top spots plus a 2nd and a 3rd.

Lachlan Frank — P1 Lachie absolutely dominated from start to finish, with no one coming close all weekend. Even more impressive he had never driven the Newcastle track before. A seriously impressive performance.

Scott Hargans — P2 Scott also arrived at Newcastle having never driven the circuit in all his years of racing. He was right in contention for the win all weekend, but serious rib pain affected his driving in the Final. We’re confident that without the injury, he had the pace to take the win — but a hard-fought P2 was still a fantastic result.

Seth Brown in the highly competitive Rotax light class delivered some serious close racing to keep himself firmly in 3rd place in the fight for the ticket to the Rotax Titles in Portugal

Will Yager had a tough weekend, with the rain making an already physically demanding track even more challenging. He maintains his hold on 2nd place in the championship taking plenty of new race experience into the next round.

Isaac & Neeko were basically recreating the 2025 McLaren season 😂 — with the two KartShop team mates battling each other hard for positions all weekend.

Hudson Barnes was unfortunately struck down by illness, bringing his weekend to a sudden end. Although, given the miserable rainy start to the day and the fact he was sleeping in the car, he may actually have held the most enviable position of the entire weekend!

A huge effort from the whole KartShop crew and a weekend that gave us plenty to be proud of.
Next stop: Wagga Wagga next month for Round 4.
That will be any new track experience for most of our drivers and we’re looking forward to seeing what we can do.

Karting puts serious load on your body, and your ribs take the brunt of it. As the kart corners, the g‑forces multiply and drive intense pressure straight into the ribcage — which is why proper protection isn’t optional, it’s essential.

Here are some examples of quality maximum rib protection without sacrificing chassis feel. They all have advanced, load‑spreading panels distribute force evenly across the entire ribcage and maintain their shape even in high heat. With an ultra‑thin profiles, allow the slimmest rib protector available, ensuring your seat fit and driving position remain exactly as they should.

Professional protection, zero compromise.

Alan Cox Cup - Tamworth

We kicked the weekend off on Friday with a coaching afternoon with a group of Tamworth club locals. Troy and Seth spent the afternoon working with the drivers on racing lines, corner technique, braking, consistency and finding those little improvements that all add up. Just as importantly, the dads got hands-on learning about kart setup and the changes that can help find those extra 2Tenths It’s always great seeing everyone’s confidence grow throughout the day.

Then it was time to race
Congratulations to Seth, who completed a clean sweep by winning every race to take home the Alan Cox Cup. Pretty special to have that trophy sitting alongside his dad’s matching Alan Cox Cup at home.

Lachlan Frank was right there all weekend, keeping Seth on his toes with great speed to finish 2nd and give The KartShop a 1-2 finish in KA NSW Combined Light.

Hudson Barnes put the work in during Friday coaching, building confidence that carried right through the weekend. He combined that new-found confidence with determination and smart, consistent driving to deliver an impressive performance. Behind the scenes, his dad Adam worked tirelessly on the kart setup, and together they found the speed to take four race wins and a second place, securing the top step of the podium and the Cadet Alan Cox Cup.

Henry Hughes had the whole KartShop crew cheering from the sidelines. He kept improving his PB every time he hit the track, never gave up and finished with an exciting run to 2nd place in the final. Henry’s Dad Doug took advantage of KartShop set up knowledge to work morning till night to make sure he had Henry set up for success.

A big shout out to karting newcomer and Tamworth local , Frank, who joined us for Friday’s coaching. By the end of the day he’d found over 5 seconds. It just shows what can be achieved with the right coaching, a few setup tweaks and plenty of laps.

Weekends like this remind us why we love what we do. Whether you’re chasing podiums or simply looking to improve, the right coaching, support and kart setup can make all the difference.

Tamworth never disappoints… chilly starts, beautiful weather, our legendary Saturday night Chinese dinner, plenty of laughs and great company.

Thanks to Tamworth Kart Racing Club for always welcoming us. We can’t wait to see you again later in the year.

What do TheKartShop and Velocity Golf Coffs Harbour have in common?
A simple truth — performance never takes a day off.

Whether it’s a kart carving through corners at 100+ km/h or a golfer loading up for a 300‑metre drive, real performance comes from two things:
the parts you trust and the practice that sharpens your skill.

At TheKartShop, every component we use and supply is engineered for precision, durability, and speed — built to withstand the extreme forces of motorsport and reward drivers who put in the laps.

At Velocity Golf, that same philosophy drives every swing: high‑performance materials, tested under pressure, refined for consistency, and designed to deliver results for players who commit to repetition and improvement.

Two different sports.
One shared mindset.
High‑performance parts. Extreme testing. Zero compromise.

If you demand reliability, accuracy, and premium engineering — and you believe practice is the path to progress — whether on the track or on the fairway, you’re already part of both worlds.

After a full weekend of practice and racing, Troy and Seth worked intensely to help every driver find those extra 2Tenths fine-tuning karts, analysing data and making setup changes to get the very best out of everyone.

The results certainly reflected everyone’s hard work:

Combined light -
Following on from their dominant performances in the NSW State Series, Lachie Frank and Will Yager continued their impressive form, finishing 1st and 2nd on the podium.

Combined medium
James Farmer was the driver to beat all weekend, taking victory in every heat race. Unfortunately, some damage to his kart in the final made life difficult, but he still drove brilliantly and held on to take his first ever 1st place on the podium for the weekend.

In some of the fiercest racing of the weekend (Cadet 9) Henry Lewis showed incredible pace in the very first race meeting with his new kart. He was only just pipped for 1st but his determination, and speed all weekend earned him a well deserved 2nd place but look out for next time, he has his eye on that top step.

Senior 4SS light
A special congratulations to Brad Fanning, who celebrated the debut of his brand-new with an outstanding race win.

At The KartShop, we’re always investing or time and knowledge into every single member of our team not just the podium finishers That’s what being part of our crew is all about. We love seeing so many KartShop shirts in the photos. Congratulations everyone on a great weekend we are looking to a busy next few months. Let us know if you’d like to join
