WELCOME TO IPKC!
THE INDEPENDENT PRIVATEER ONLY KART CHAMPIONSHIP
WHO ARE WE?
The IPKC is a national kart championship that focuses on drivers from the independent and privateer side of the sport.
By not allowing established large teams to enter, we give you the opportunity and chance to race competitively against other independent drivers.
For too long, talent has been overshadowed by the karting giants, and the sport has more and more become a battle of finances and lost hope. By eliminating the teams and keeping costs as low as possible, we hope to spark the competitive nature within you once again!
FUN & FRIENDLY!
The paddock here at IPKC has been described, my many, as the friendliest paddock in karting, especially on a national scale. After a day of competitive racing on the black stuff, the IPKC’s drivers, parents, mechanics, friends, and family come together and enjoy the weekend without animosity, jealousy, or frustration. These people are the ones that have moulded IPKC into what it is today. We simply gave them the stage, and they have done the rest!
We are extremely proud of the environment that has been created within the championship, and we pray that it continues for years to come.
Sick and tired of the negative attitudes that shroud the karting industry? Then IPKC could be just what you are looking for.
Independently reviewed as “the way it used to be” and dubbed the perfect step out of the club racing scene and a valuable platform for increasing skill and race craft via a national championship!
Come along and join us and maybe fit in a few conversations between the laughter.

IPKC REVIEW
Rory and his whole team are approachable and will either take an issue away or tell you there and then why a rule or an action is in place. I think at each round something has cropped up and they all get together and with their multiple years of experience and being on our side of the fence with either a driver on track or being on track themselves…. they get a sensible solution then communicate it. Not only is this a championship run for us… its being run by people like us….. not someone who’s read a book on karting and thinks we’ll have a go at that….
NO TEAMS ALLOWED
The IPKC prides itself on eliminating the massive team awnings and race trucks that have become an all-too-familiar face within the sport.
For years, talent within the independent sector of the sport has been overshadowed by the presence of these karting giants!
By eliminating these giants, the IPKC gives a fair and even platform for drivers to race each other and showcase the skills possessed by them.
CONTROLLED TYRES
The IPKC are now no longer restricting the amount of tyres that can be used within the championship. Competitors now have the “option” of using either a new set of race slicks, or a used set, it is down to your discretion as to what condition tyres you use. Scanned race slicks are to be used on Sunday race day including morning warmup. Any new tyres are to be purchased though IPKC and will be delivered to the event ready for collection and scanning resulting in all competitors recieving tyres from the same batch aiding to fairness and smooth event operation.
