The 2025 Victorian State Cup Black Plate event was held at the South West Kart Clubs Cobden Park Raceway on the weekend December 6th and 7th with Social Karting Practice held on Friday the 5th. (See the full photo/video album in the other post).
Racing was held in warm weather across the weekend apart from Saturday where the heavens opened with heavy rain and gave a challenge to drivers and teams throughout the day clearing for Sunday.
A huge rainbow in the paddocks at the back of the circuit greeted everyone on Sunday as they arrived to the track.

Well done to our newly crowed Black Plate champions and to all 250 drivers that were competing across 12 classes at the event.
Thank you to everyone at the South West Kart Club for putting on a great event and accommodating everyone with their pit areas as best as possible with the wet grounds, Andrew Hayes from AHR Media for his fantastic commentary, thank you to all club members, volunteers and Karting Victoria race officials for making the event possible.
