The Darwin Karting Association (DKA) is a sports club located in Darwin, Northern Territory. The club offers a family-friendly and inclusive environment for individuals of all ages who are interested in karting. DKA welcomes both experienced karting enthusiasts and newcomers who want to try out the sport.

DKA holds regular race meets throughout the year, providing opportunities for members to showcase their skills and compete against other karting enthusiasts. The club also organises special events and championships, offering additional racing experiences for its members.

For those interested in getting involved in karting, DKA offers a “Come and Try” programme in partnership with Cazalys. This programme allows individuals to experience karting firsthand and learn important skills from experienced club drivers and officials. Whether you're a kid aged 6 or an adult of any age, DKA has options for you to join and start racing.

Volunteering opportunities are also available at DKA. The club is always seeking new officials and volunteers to help with race meets, including scrutineering karts, operating the timing system, and being a flag marshal. Volunteering in karting not only provides a rewarding experience but also offers a chance to witness the purest form of motorsport up close.

It offers participants unmatched vehicle control and driving precision, making it an excellent stepping stone for aspiring motorsports professionals.
