About Hamilton Kart Club

Hamilton Kart Club (HKC) is a competitive karting club operating a 700-metre bituminous hot-mix circuit on Murroa-Buckley Swamp Road, about 10 km from the regional city of Hamilton in south-west Victoria. The track surface uses a Gilsonite additive that gives it exceptional grip in both dry and wet conditions — it is widely regarded as one of the fastest and safest country circuits in Australia. The club operates under Karting Victoria regulations and is a host venue for the Victorian Country Series, a multi-round championship run across six country venues each season including Ballarat, Cobden, Horsham, Portland and Warrnambool. Regular club race days and social karting round out the calendar, making HKC the hub for kart racing in the Hamilton region.
