About CEX Raceway
CEX Raceway is the physical karting venue associated with Coffs Harbour Kart Racing Club. Coffs Harbour Kart Racing Club is a current outdoor owner-driver club at CEX Raceway on Phil Hawthorn Drive. Following a major rebuild, the official club publishes eight configurations headed by a 1,060 m, 40-kart Track A; approved 2026 Australian Kart Championship regulations confirm that main length and clockwise direction. The upgraded venue includes a new two-storey clubhouse, control and stewards rooms, canteen, viewing deck, toilets and showers. The club explicitly states that hire karts are no longer available. Kart Directory booking is disabled and no external checkout URL is stored.

Competition rather than public hire
This is an outdoor owner-driver competition venue. Drivers normally provide an eligible kart and safety equipment and meet the relevant club, licence, sign-on, scrutineering and event rules. A promoted come-and-try day is a controlled introductory event; it does not mean that walk-in rental karts are routinely available.
Before driving
Check the current governing-body rules, membership and licence pathway before buying equipment or travelling. Practice and race meetings may use different circuit directions, configurations or classes. The club, permit documents and officials determine the live requirements, and those instructions take priority over this directory summary.
Calendar and access
Practice and racing follow the club and Karting Australia NSW calendars. Confirm the layout, licence, sign-on and any closure before attending. Competition venues can close for track preparation, maintenance, working bees, private practice, weather or another motorsport event. Do not assume that an unlocked gate means the circuit is available for unscheduled use.
Visiting as a spectator or newcomer
Review the event timetable and venue instructions for gate times, parking, pit access, clothing and spectator areas. Contact the club about volunteering, officiating, membership or its next sanctioned introductory day. Never enter the circuit, grid or paddock without permission from the responsible official.
Booking position
Kart Directory booking is disabled and no external checkout URL is stored. These profiles do not display a Book Now button. Any membership, licence, practice sign-on or event-entry process is administered independently by the club and its governing body.
