About Port Macquarie Kart Racing Club
Port Macquarie Kart Racing Club is the Mid-North Coast's home of competitive kart racing, running the Pacific Park International Raceway at Lake Innes, just off the Pacific Highway before the Port Macquarie turn-off. It is a membership club for owner-drivers — affiliated with Karting NSW and Karting Australia — rather than an arrive-and-drive hire venue, so racers bring their own karts. The smooth, well-maintained 1,052-metre circuit earns high praise from members and visiting drivers alike, and the easy-going club culture makes it welcoming to newcomers while still rewarding experienced racers chasing better lap times.
