HOW DOES THE VHKC WORK?
HOW WE GO RACING
SIX ROUND
CHAMPIONSHIP
Once every four weeks, we'll host a championship round, each at a different venue from the last.
The sixth round will be marked as the finale for the current season.
*Official schedule is yet to be released
CHAMPIONSHIP FORMAT
Each Driver is afforded one drop round.
Each driver will have their lowest scoring round deducted from their total.
So it's ok to miss a round or have a bad race.
Earn Championship Points during each round.
Points are awarded to drivers based on the overall top 20 positions of each championship round.
Join at any point in the season.
Every driver will start in Division 1.
The results of their first race will determine if it's necessary to place them in Division 2.
The main championship in the VHKC is the Driver's Championship.
We host Division 1 and Division 2 championships, giving more drivers the chance to earn wins and silverware.
Race for more than just yourself!
Drivers can create a team of 2 to 3 drivers to compete across an entire season team championship.
*being part of a team is not mandatory.
Only a team of two? No worries!
To help them not fall behind, teams of 2 are awarded a handicap equal to half of the average driver points.
Drivers Championship Prizes
The top three drivers in both divisions will be awarded Championship Trophies.
Furthermore, the top 3 Drivers in both Divisions at each round will be awarded medals.
Team Championship
The top three teams at the end of the championship will be awarded championship trophies, and each team's drivers will receive championship medals.
If there is enough interest from drivers, we'll consider hosting an East Regional Series and a West Regional Series.
This will reduce the travel commitments for competitors, as well as reducing time spent waiting for racing groups, given that most venues have a limit to how many karts can be on the track at once.
Regional Series would lead to the VHKC Finale.
This alternative format would see the top drivers from each region invited to a finale event.
The finale would take place at a central venue that both regions will visit once during the regular season.
Arrive at the venue with your ticket.
Approach a VHKC Admin to check-in. They will scan the QR code on your ticket to verify your entry.
You will then be given either a blue or orange armband to signify what division you are racing in.
EACH RACE EVENT
driving standards
Safety is paramount.
Safety and safe driving practices are of utmost importance to protect the health and well-being of drivers in the VHKC.
Dangerous driving behaviours and excessively aggressive driving will not be tolerated.
Prohibited behaviours include; purposely hitting other karts with excessive force, not adhering to venue safety procedures, and forcing other drivers off the track or into barriers.
Engaging in unsafe driving practices may result in a temporary or permanent suspension from the VHKC.
ticket prices
We aim to keep the cost of single-event driver tickets as low as possible.
About 95% of your ticket covers the cost of venue access and the karts. The other 5% helps keep the VHKC operating through its website fees, trophies, medals and other minor expenses.
There is no intention to make a profit through driver tickets.
We want to make the VHKC as accessible as possible.
Tickets are 100% refundable up until 5 days before the race, after which we will give you a voucher equal to the ticket if you can't make it.
If there’s an opportunity to lower ticket prices through partnerships or sponsorships, we will do so as early as possible.

Rubbing is racing - to a limit.
With safety in mind, we encourage hard-fought, clean racing amongst competitors.
Whilst on the track, you must always leave racing room for your fellow drivers.
We understand hard racing can sometimes lead to minor unintentional incidents. However, if a driver is noted to be at fault for an incident, regardless of their intentions, they will receive an incident point. Accumulating 5 incident points will see a driver incur penalties such as championship point deductions.
