The Australian Superkart Championship is a motor racing series run in Australia under the auspices of CAMS under their Superkart rules. The kart races at the full-size Australian circuit and in 2013 the series is bolted at Sydney Motorsport Park and the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit. In 2007 this series has been part of the Shannons Nationals Motor Racing Championship. The series is one of the nine who enjoy the full status of the Australian CAMS Championship.

National titles have also been run by other organizations sanctioned for years as a one-off event.

Class

Currently three different classes of Superkart compete in the Australian championships: 250 International (for two 250cc cylinder engines), 250 National (for a single 250cc cylinder engine), 125 Gearbox (for a 125cc engine). Rotax max class families no longer compete for Australian championship status but have a single non-gearbox Nationals event with three classes: Rotax Light and Rotax Heavy, both by weight category and Rotax Junior for drivers ages 12-16, and they run their 125cc Rotax engine without power valves, reduces the class power output relative to Rotax Light and Rotax Heavy. While all the classes compete for a national title, due to regulation in 2008, only the winners of 250 International classes are already capable enough to claim the Australian Champion. Prior to the widespread popularity of Rotax Max, the non-gearbox class was a 100cc engine capacity. Previously there was also a fourth gearbox class for the Superkarts 80cc machine but the numbers have been reduced in recent times to the point that the 80cc class has folded into the 125cc class at the national level and currently only survives in limited numbers at the state level.

Champions

The following is a compilation of the Australian Supercart Championships and the national series winners. Since 1980, the superkart motor racing series has run under AKA & amp; CAMS Rules. Prior to 1989, the title was under the authority of AKA. Running initially as a single event championship it evolved into a multi-event series in the early 2000s.

One of the most successful riders in Superkart racing is Warren McIlveen who has won 7 titles, six of them in the top class, 250 International. Most successful & amp; The cross-class driver has Brian Stockman who has won eight titles in four classes. 2 x 80cc, 1 x 125cc, 2 x 250cc single & amp; 3 x 250cc international. Jason McIntyre, Luke May, and Jeff Reed are the only drivers to win both Gearbox and non-Gearbox titles. Both the non-gearbox class 100cc and Rotax Max have used Light, Heavy and Junior classes to further divide their numbers on certain occasions. They show L: Light, H: Weight and A: Junior.

Since some of the falling numbers are not all recognized as Australian champions, some are just as national series winners. For example in 2009 only 250 International classes were recognized with Australian champion status. The numbers have recovered.

Attempts to run the Rotax Max title since 2009 have failed on several occasions, but a replacement event that is no longer considered an Australian Championship run in 2011.
