All of the events below are ones we typically hold. If you are not a member of CACA or a Club affiliated with Motorsport Australia and are interested in any of these events, then please email the club at eventsecretary@caca.org.au

Motorkhanas

Imagine taking your road car onto a slippery surface and negotiating tight courses set out by rubber cones and coloured flags. A motorkhana is where you improve your car handling skills…have a lot of fun for not a lot of money…and earn competition points towards club trophies.

Christian Autosports Club of Australia (CACA) runs a motorkhana series split into skid pan (flooded concrete surface, as below) and grass events (as above). We use the Sydney Motorsport Park skid pan at Eastern Creek and Ansell Park Richmond. Both venues induce different car behaviour. The skills you gain here are very beneficial for when driving on public roads with a loose surface, lack of grip or a lot of water.

Motorkhanas are divided into categories for everyday passenger vehicles and modified (unregistered) vehicles. At any one of our events, you are likely to see Mazda 3’s, Corollas, Civics, Mirages, Subaru, Toyota 86’s, V8 Commodores and Falcons, EVO Lancers and turbo Nissans, as well as purpose-built race cars. Points are awarded for negotiating the courses in the shortest possible time without hitting the cones and flags.

Children from 12 years of age are eligible to enter (with parental permission) and we have found motorkhanas to be ideal for teaching the right skills and building confidence in learner drivers. CACA has a number of highly experienced motor sport racing drivers who are available to sit with junior members and provide instruction.

Don’t worry, you won’t damage your vehicle. The worst that could happen is driving over a cone – and they bounce back into shape!

Motorkhanas are divided into open events, closed events and training. Open events are for members of the Christian Autosports Club of Australia and other CAMS-affiliated clubs. Closed events are solely for the benefit of CACA members.

Motorkhana events require a Motorsport Australia Competition licence and a Club Membership.

  • Non-members can enter events but are required to apply and pay for a ‘One-Day Introductory Licence’ and pay the relevant entry fee for the event.

Khanacross

Think of a Khanacross as a “mini rally”.

Modified cars (e.g. upgraded engine, roll cage, special tyres, strengthened body panels, custom suspension, fire extinguisher, etc.) race through a forest on designated gravel roads. Each ‘stage’ is approximately 500 metres in length.

Christian Autosports Club of Australia runs a Khanacross series (Chris Cross Series) at Sydney Motorsport Park. Other Khanacross events are conducted by other clubs they Christian Autosports have the opportunity to attend, and will form prt of the series.

The skills you gain here are very beneficial for when driving on public roads with a loose surface or lack of grip.

Khanacross events are divided into categories for different types of cars and engines. Points are awarded for negotiating the forest courses in the shortest possible time. Have a lot of fun for not a lot of money…and earn competition points towards club trophies.

Children from 14 years of age are eligible to enter (with parental permission and at the director’s discretion) and we have found khanacross events to be ideal for teaching the right skills and building confidence in learner drivers. CACA has a number of highly experienced rally drivers who are available to sit with junior members and provide instruction.

Khanacross events are divided into open events and closed events. Open events are for members of the Christian Autosports Club of Australia and other Motorsport affiliated clubs. Closed events are solely for the benefit of CACA members.

Khanacross events require a Motorsport Australia licence, a Club Membership and a helmet. Roll cages and other safety gear are highly recommended.

Track Days

A track day is a great opportunity to improve your driving skills and to better understand the behaviour of your car at speed.

This specially constructed circuit provides a mix of tight corners, on-camber and off-camber turns and a main straight. It is ideal for improving braking skills and cornering techniques.

Vehicles of all types are eligible to go on the circuit and drivers are grouped according to their experience. At any one of our track days, you are likely to see anything from a Mazda 3 to an Audi, a Civic, Mirage, Impreza, Toyota 86, BMW, V8 Commodore or Skyline, as well as purpose built race cars.

Christian Autosports Club of Australia is not currently running track days, however as a member you will have the opportunity to enter track days conducted by other clubs at the Pheasant Wood Driver Training Circuit at Marulan, 90 minutes south of Sydney or even at the Luddenham Raceway in Sydney.

  • A minimum of a Motorsport Australia Level 2 Speed licence and a helmet are required to enter. A licence can also be issued by the track on the day for those without a Motorsport Australia Level 2 Speed licence.
