Pro Karts Tradies Challenge

Who’s the Fastest on the Tools – and the Track?

It’s time to trade your hammer for a helmet and prove who really runs the job site – on four wheels! The Pro Karts Tradies Challenge is your chance to take on other tradies in a high-speed, team-based go-karting endurance race. Whether you're on the tools all day or running the crew, this event is built for you.


Who Can Enter?

We’re calling on:

  • Builders

  • Electricians

  • Plumbers

  • Roofers

  • Painters

  • Trade suppliers

  • Anyone who wears high-vis and gets it done!

Bring your crew and your competitive streak – no karting experience needed, just a bit of grit and a good sense of humour.


How It Works

  • Teams of 3–5 tradies share one kart.

  • Entry is just $260 per team.

  • Includes:

    • 200-lap team race

    • Practice session

    • Pizza and drinks

    • Trophy for the winners

    • All the workplace bragging rights

Whether you're a crew of three who want max time on the track or a team of five splitting the fun (and the cost), we’ve got you covered.


The Race Format

This is a relay-style, endurance race. Teams rotate drivers throughout the 200 laps – but with strategy in mind.

  • Minimum 11 pit stops
  • Miss a pit stop = disqualified
  • Contact or blocking = penalties
  • 3 strikes = extra pit stop (and your boss will hear about it)

It's not just about speed – it's about smart tactics, quick pit work, and tight teamwork.


What the Night Looks Like

  • 5:40 PM – Arrival & Check-In

  • 6:00 PM – Safety Briefing + Practice Laps

  • 6:20 PM – Green flag drops, race begins

  • Around 8:15 PM – Race ends, prizegiving, and photos

We’ll get you geared up, give you a few warm-up laps to get the feel for the kart, then it’s all go. Expect cheers, banter, and maybe some cheeky sledging between teams.


Tradie Fuel

Let’s be honest – you’re here to race and eat. We’ve got pizzas and light refreshments ready to keep the whole crew running strong.


Trophies & Glory

Cross the line first (with all pit stops completed) and claim the custom Tradies Challenge trophy for your workplace. You’ll earn serious bragging rights – until next year, at least.


Spots Are Limited

We only accept 13 teams max for this event. It’s first in, first served – and if you race this year, you get first dibs next time. Don’t wait around!
