🏁All the workplace bragging rights
Whether you're a crew of three who want max time on the track or a team of five splitting the fun (and the cost), we’ve got you covered.
🔨The Race Format
This is a relay-style, endurance race. Teams rotate drivers throughout the 200 laps – but with strategy in mind.
🔴Minimum 11 pit stops
🔴Miss a pit stop = disqualified
🔴Contact or blocking = penalties
🔴3 strikes = extra pit stop (and your boss will hear about it)
🔴It's not just about speed – it's about smart tactics, quick pit work, and tight teamwork.
What the Night Looks Like
🟢5:30 PM – Arrival & Check-In
🟢6:00 PM – Safety Briefing + Practice Laps
🟢6:20 PM – Green flag drops, race begins
🟢Around 8:15 PM – Race ends, prizegiving, and photos
We’ll get you geared up, give you a few warm-up laps to get the feel for the kart, then it’s all go. Expect cheers, banter, and maybe some cheeky sledging between teams.
🍕Tradie Fuel
Let’s be honest – you’re here to race and eat. We’ve got pizzas and light refreshments ready to keep the whole crew running strong.
🏆Trophies & Glory
Cross the line first (with all pit stops completed) and claim the custom Tradies Challenge trophy for your workplace. You’ll earn serious bragging rights – until next year, at least.
⚠Spots Are Limited
We only accept 13 teams max for this event. It’s first in, first served – and if you race this year, you get first dibs next time. Don’t wait around!
