About Go Kart Club of Victoria
The Go Kart Club of Victoria (GKCV) is a membership-based karting club on Todd Road at Port Melbourne, right beside the West Gate Bridge and overlooking the city — an unusually central location for a motorsport facility. It is the largest kart club in Victoria and one of the largest in the country, racing on a 1,005-metre outdoor circuit. This is a club where members race their own karts rather than an arrive-and-drive hire track. Alongside its monthly club days, the GKCV hosts some of the biggest meetings in Australian karting, including rounds of the Australian Kart Championship and the Rotax Pro Tour, plus the annual City of Melbourne Titles. With a strong, welcoming community across junior and senior classes, it's an ideal home for anyone wanting to step into competitive karting close to the Melbourne CBD — visit on a race weekend to watch the action and talk to members about getting started.
