Hamilton Karting Club

Great Racing at Hamilton Karting Facility: Buckley Park

Visit the track just 11 km from Mt. Napier Road.

The circuit is 700 metres in length, constructed of a bituminous hot mix compound with Gilsonite additive. It offers an exceptionally grippy surface in either dry or wet conditions and is considered one of the fastest and safest circuits in Australia. The track is licensed for 28 starters and can provide safe and spectator-friendly racing in all classes.

The circuit is eight metres wide in its entirety, with many passing opportunities, large run off areas, and excellent beach pebble catch traps.

The circuit has an announcer’s box, with an elevated viewing platform for stewards giving unrestricted views of the circuit. A powered facility is also available for stewards and offers a safe, secure environment for driver interviews. A full PA system is in place so race calls can be heard across the facility.

The lap scorer’s box on the main straight is air-conditioned. A fully equipped first aid room is available for emergencies, the scales shed is fully enclosed, and starting is by lights.

The pit area is large and well grassed and can easily handle 300 entrants with crews and trailers, with adjacent paddocks available for additional vehicles.

Australian Champion Remo Luciani regards the circuit as an excellent venue and has thoroughly enjoyed the racing, with plenty of passing opportunities, good length straights, and exciting sections of circuit.

The club has two toilet blocks with hot showers and allows camping at the track. A full service canteen is available, renowned for quality refreshments.
