About Melbourne International EV Karting Complex

The Melbourne International EV Karting Complex is the home of the Go Kart Club of Victoria (GKCV), an outdoor competition karting circuit at Port Melbourne sitting right beside the West Gate Bridge with views back over the city — about as close to the CBD as a full-size kart track gets. The circuit measures roughly 1,005 metres with 13 corners and hosts serious motorsport, from regular club race meetings up to rounds of the Australian Kart Championship, the annual City of Melbourne Titles and endurance events such as the 4.5-hour enduro. This is a club racing facility rather than a casual arrive-and-drive venue: taking part in race meetings requires GKCV membership and a kart licence, making it best suited to people who own or want to campaign their own kart rather than walk-up groups after a one-off hire session.
