Go Jack Larsen Racing 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

LARSEN: “TOWNSVILLE WILL BE VERY DIFFERENT WITH 300 KARTS.”

You’d think that living just one hour north of the venue for the third round of the Penrite Australian Kart Championship would be an advantage, but according to KA2 campaigner Jack Larsen, it will be a very different circuit once 300 karts start laying down rubber.

Larsen currently sits second in the KA2 championship points chase after salvaging a fifth place on slicks in the rain plagued final at Ipswich.

“It was a pretty inconsistent weekend for me really, with some penalties and a DNF, but we qualified 4th, went from 14th to 6th in the first heat and 11th to 5th in the fourth heat and then just finished behind Cooper (Folley) in the final in the wet, so we can’t complain too much,” he said.

Series leader Levi Doessel failed to finish the final, allowing Larsen and Folley to close the gap in points, with Jack 26 points behind Doessel and a slender 5 points ahead of Folley.

But just when a home track advantage would be perfect timing for the talented 13 year old, Jack and his dad Daryl are quick to denounce any benefit from being a North Queensland local.

“We’re used to our club rounds having smaller numbers and dust on the track, so as soon as 300 karts clean up the surface and put some rubber down, the corner speeds and brake markers we’re used to will go out the window!”

“It’s a simple track really, but there’s a big difference in the speed from the long straight to the tight turns, so I think it will take a while for teams to get the gearing set right.”

Jack proudly races with the #35; a number passed down from his grandfather who according to Daryl, was somewhat of a legend in speedway sedan circles in the north.

“I started to race when I was 15, but sadly dad died when I was 17, so I had to stop racing and work the farm, but it’s really special to have Jack run the #35 and I even have the number tattooed on my arm in memory of dad too.”

The farm is a 1600-acre plot that is majority sugar cane with a few paddocks left over for hobby farming cattle, but there’s still room for a “bush basher” for Jack.

“Yeah he has a little Daihatsu that he runs around the farm,” Daryl laughs, “but I’m not sure it does anything to help his dream to be a full-time race car driver, but If that doesn’t work out, there’ll always be a job here driving cane harvesters I reckon.”

Making a career in a cane harvester would be a slow alternative for Larsen after claiming the 2024 Cadet 12 championship runner up, that provided the opportunity to race in the ROK Cup final in Italy, and also prepared him for making the podium at three rounds of the 2025 IAME Asia Junior 2025 Series.

“The Australian Kart Championship is really tough on an international level, so our focus if to give 2026 the best focus we can and hopefully the results will take care of themselves.”

7+ will once again host the live coverage of the championship on Saturday July 4 from 12:30pm and 11:30am on the Sunday. Sun City Raceway is 20 minutes west of Townsville on Shaw Road and offers free entry for spectators along with excellent amenities, and refreshments available for purchase.
