Motorkhanas are the short form of competition we hold on-site here at the Pakenham Auto Club.

Held at relatively low speeds, your task is simple: complete a set of pre-determined tests around a set of flags or cones in the correct order and in the fastest possible time.

Starting from a standstill in a ‘gate’, at the completion of a given course, you must return to stop in the designated finishing area.

Some key points in motorkhanas:

• While some events are held on sealed surfaces, our events are held on grass/dirt, which places emphasis on driver's ability, while also adding significantly to the fun factor!
• Motorkhanas are contested by one vehicle at a time, although multiple tests can run concurrently across our facility
• These events are hugely popular with junior competitors aged 12-17
• Cars owned by the PAC can be hired by eligible junior participants, easing the entry to competition for newcomers, pending availability
• You can share cars - many families choose to share their car across multiple drivers
  
• You can use your road car or any other well-presented, safe machine that is in compliance with Motorsport Australia’s regulations
• No need for a helmet (except for open-top Motorkhana specials) or a fire extinguisher
• The only clothing requirements are closed-toe shoes, shorts and T-shirts made from a non-flammable material
• Some tests require reversing, which is an excellent way to hone skills
• Keep an eye out for regular Come & Try, plus Test & Tune events
• Often, events will end with head-to-head grudge matches against other competitors, which are a massive amount of fun!
• Motorkhanas extend all the way to state and national level, with Pakenham members regularly travelling to test out their skills against the best of the best!
• The Pakenham Auto Club is highly active in the Group 5 scene, which sees our members go up against other clubs in the region
• All participants require a Motorsport Australia Speed Licence or above, and must be a member of a Motorsport Australia-affiliated car club, such as the Pakenham Auto Club
