Favourite Karting Memory – @macauleyjones3 . There is no hiding the Jones name in the Supercars paddock, so when second generation racer Macauley arrived at the @alburywodonga_kartclub with father Brad and a 20 year old CRG, it was only going to be matter of time before Jones Junior was hooked, and his 20 year old CRG replaced. “For me, Karting is very special to me, it’s taught me a lot and still continues to today as I use it as an important training tool in keeping sharp for the Supercars Championship,” said Macauley. “I’ve had a lot of great times across Australia during my time in Karting, and it’s hard to narrow it down to just one, but if I had to pick one it would definitely be the 2011 Brian Farley Memorial event held at the NSKC Eastern Creek (North Shore Kart Club). I won the feature race and a paid trip to Disneyland with a last lap pass on Jason Hryniuk. Getting the win such a quality field in my first senior clubman race felt great and gave me a huge boost knowing that I could mix it with the best guys in the country.” 2012 saw Jones move into Formula Ford racing in the NSW, Victorian and Australian Championships being a part of the @motorsport.australia Rising Stars program with Minda Motororts before moving into the @super2series with Family team @bjrsupercars in 2014. Whilst still racing in the Dunlop Super2 Series, Jones was also a Co-Driver in the @PIRTEK Endurance Cup with @dalewood_1 , @timblanchard3 and @nickpercat . Last year, he became a full-time driver in the @virginaustralia @supercarschampionship Still now, Jones spends time working with karting mentor Tom Williamson who has played a large roll in Jones’ Development over the years. In early 2020, TWM and BJR formed the BJR – TWM Junior Development Team with the direct focus on producing tomorrow’s next big talent whilst guiding them through rollercoaster of making it to Supercars. To remain sharp, Jones has plans to race in the elite KZ2 category at the @sptools Australian Kart Championship presented by Castrol EDGE into his 2020 Calendar when it returns after the enforced break caused by the COVID-19 Pandemic.
As we start to return to tracks around Australia, are your eyes on the prize? #KartingAustralia #StayingPositive
A huge congratulations to two former Karting Australia license holders, @oscarpiastri (1st place)- @oakleighgokartracingclub and @alexperoni7 (3rd place)- @s_t_k_c , on their achievements in race one of the 2020 @fiaf3_ Championship at the @redbullring in Austria. Fellow Australians @jackdoohan and @calanwilliamsracing finished 14th and 21st respectively
Gold Coast youngster Alice Buckley has been chosen for @fia.official Women is Motorsport Shootout. The FIA Girls on Track – Rising Stars is an innovative new project to detect and nurture the female racing talent of the future. The 12 year-old Gold Coaster is one of 20 drivers from five continents that are scheduled to participate in a Shootout at the @winfieldracingschool at the @circuitpaulricard , in France in October. Should Alice be successful in the Shootout, she will then join training camps, and potentially have the opportunity to become the first ever female driver obtaining a partnership agreement with the @ferraridriveracademy , including participation in an FIA Formula 4 racing season.

Favourite Karting Memory – @cam_waters @tickfordracing ‘s Cameron Waters started his journey in the motorsport world at his local kart track in Mildura, Victoria with his family after getting his first kart for Christmas, aged 6. “My family has always been around motor racing. My dad and brother Jarod raced speedway when I was growing up, so I wanted to start racing as soon as I could and that lead me to karting “Karting teaches you a lot about race craft, strategy during races and how to control a car. I believe it’s an important stepping stone to the @supercarschampionship . “I have a lot of great memories from my time in karting, and it’s hard to narrow it down to one, but for me, a highlight would have been winning the 2008 Junior National Light Victorian State Championship at the Geelong Kart Club, it was my first year in Juniors and I got the win!
@tickfordracing drivers @cam_waters , @leehold5worth and @jack_lebrocq have spent the day preparing for next week’s return of the @supercarschampionship by getting back behind the wheel of some Melbourne Kart Centre-prepared karts today at the @oakleighgokartracingclub
As National Volunteer week draws to a close, we want to take the opportunity to thank not only the five wonderful Volunteers we have highlighted this week, but to thank every single one of them cross Australia that help keep the wheels turning for our sport. This week has shown that every Volunteer plays a vital part in every aspect of karting, from keeping us fed, our tracks looking pristine and entries accepted. Without them, it just would not be possible to go racing across the country. Don’t forget to thank the volunteers at your Club, show them some appreciation and if you don't already do so, maybe one day Volunteer some of your time to help out. If it wasn’t for Volunteers, there would be no race in which to compete and no sport for us to enjoy. @volunteeringaustralia
