RESPECT KARTING

Respect Karting is Karting Australia’s integrity program that sets clear expectations for behaviour across our sport. It promotes a safe, respectful, and rewarding environment for all participants – drivers, officials, volunteers, and supporters alike.

At its core, Respect Karting is built on a simple yet powerful principle:

TREAT OTHERS AS YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE TREATED.

There is no place in karting for poor sportsmanship, disrespect, or unacceptable behaviour – whether from competitors, parents, or spectators. Karting Australia sends a clear message at all levels: it is never okay to undermine our sport, our officials, our volunteers, fellow competitors, clubs, or even your own child.

Our Standards

In karting, we expect and uphold:

• True sportsmanship in all situations
• Perspective – at the end of the day, it’s just a race
• Self-control and respect, no matter the outcome
• Compliance with the rules and respect for official decisions always
• Zero tolerance for foul language, insults, threats, or violence
• Encouragement of leadership, initiative, and sound judgment
• A commitment to protecting the integrity of the sport

Respect Karting is about making our sport better for everyone. Because when we race with respect, we all win!
