About Lake King Kart Club
Lake King Kart Club is a volunteer-run community karting club situated in the small agricultural town of Lake King, deep in the South-East Wheatbelt of Western Australia — roughly 300 km south-east of Perth. The club is affiliated with Karting Western Australia and runs competitive club racing at its track on the Newdegate-Ravensthorpe Road. Remote by any measure, the club has earned a reputation as a genuine hidden gem: visitors who have stumbled across race days consistently praise the friendly atmosphere and the novelty of quality karting well off the beaten track. Racing is open-class club competition and a Karting WA licence is required to compete. For spectators and families, race days make a memorable outing in an otherwise quiet corner of the state.
