At the weekend 68 of Australia’s best lady racers descended upon the Albury-Wodonga Kart Club from January 24th to 26th for 2 days of racing and 1 day of practice in Australia’s biggest female karting event the annual 2025 Pink Plate, with the ladies fundraising in support of Breast Cancer Network Australia (BCNA) for the event.
This year the ladies set a new fundraising record raising over $25,000 for BCNA which is an amazing achievement.

Kacie Duff (from Barossa Go-Kart Club, SA pictured left) was crowned this years “princess” of fundraising and forming part of a team effort titled “Tassies Fastest Ladies” Makenzie Leonard (Launceston Kart Club, TAS), Elenah Rankin (North Western Kart Club, TAS) and Renee Hinds (Circular Head Kart Club, TAS) were crowned the “queens” of fundraising.
