Dominic Penman Racing

“Top 10 in the country… and we’re just getting started.”

After Round 1 of the Australian Kart Championship, Dominic Penman is currently sitting 7th in the championship on 71 points.

A solid start to the year — but we know there’s more in the tank.

From charging through the field to showing front-running pace, the speed is there… now it’s about putting it all together across the next 4 rounds.

We take the positives, we keep building, and we stay focused on what’s ahead.

This is only the beginning.

Huge thanks to the team and our supporters who make it all possible:
Sleepmaker | Bedshed | Drift

Let’s keep pushing 💪

AKC Round 1 – Coffs Harbour Wrap Up

Round 1 of the Australian Kart Championship kicked off in Coffs Harbour last weekend.

The first two practice days were far from ideal, with a number of mechanical issues limiting our running heading into qualifying. We managed P17 out of 37 — not where we wanted to be, but still within reach to fight forward.

From there, it was all about progress:

Heat 1: 17th → 13th
Heat 2: 17th → 10th
Heat 3: 11th → 9th
Heat 4: 8th → 6th

We lined up P8 for the final and were charging forward. The kart felt strong, and we were running as the second fastest on track. After working our way into P3 and within reach of a podium, an on-track incident in the closing laps dropped us back to P8.

We regrouped and fought back to cross the line in P6.

A tough way to finish after showing such strong pace, but plenty of positives to take away. This sport can be cruel, but we’ll reset and come back stronger for Round 2 at our home track in Ipswich.

A huge thank you to our new team for a great first weekend, our incredible engineer and data support, team boss Nic Percat, and all the families in the tent.

And of course, our sponsors — we couldn’t do this without you 🙌

Tough day in Coffs Harbour.

A mechanical issue and wet conditions meant things didn’t go our way today, but we’ll keep pushing forward.

Qualifying first thing tomorrow.
New day, new opportunity. 🤞

Our new team ❤️🤍🖤
