Gasworks Motorsport Club is now running Khanacross events at Illabo Motorsport Park, under Permits and Insurance provided by AASA.
What is Khanacross?
Only the Driver, and an approved passenger supplying Instruction to a Novice or Junior driver if applicable, may be in the vehicle whilst competing.
The events are usually run on unsealed surface and the Course(s) are designed to improve car control, judgement, and hazard perception in a safe environment.
The Course layout is marked by tyres and/or arrows; time penalties apply if any of these are struck — these penalties aid in improving driving styles and attitude.
What vehicles can be used in Khanacross?
Virtually any four-wheeled vehicle can be used for Khanacross events, including:
- cars
- utes
- off-road karts
- side by side ATV
If in doubt, ask us before you buy or enter an event!
Mandatory Vehicle & Driver Requirements
- Drivers can compete from as young as 12 years old, however they must have a suitably experienced adult in the passenger seat. In addition, juniors aged under 18, must have Parent or Guardian written consent to compete.
- The vehicle must mechanically sound with effective seat belts, steering and brakes, along with roadworthy street tyres.
- Road registration is NOT required! but obviously you’ll need to transport the vehicle on a suitable trailer to and from Illabo Motorsport Park.
- A 1kg fire extinguisher must be securely mounted within reach of the driver (The link is an example — others may also be suitable)
- Ideally, a laminated front windscreen should be fitted to the vehicle OR a helmet, fitted with a full visor, is required for vehicles without a windscreen.
- All competitors must wear ankle to wrist clothing of a non synthetic material and fully enclosed footwear, also a helmet (non-motorcross style) to at least Australian standards must be worn whilst on the track.
- All competitors must hold an appropriate Motorsport licence and a recognised Car Club membership. If you’re not a member of another recognised car club, you can join Gasworks Motorsport.

When are Khanacross events held at Illabo Motorsport?
That said, we may occasionally have a couple of cars on hand for demonstration purposes at the Vintage Speedway events — eg we might have them run the Khanacross course to provide a continued viewing experience for spectators whilst we are watering the main track.
Check out the Gasworks Motorsport Event Calendar for the latest dates — The Khanacross events are highlighted in GREEN.
