Sideways and Smiling: Our Trip to Lithgow’s Khanacross

What a great way to spend a Sunday! The rally.benefi.com.au team—that’s Mick and myself—loaded up and headed out to the Lithgow District Car Club (LDCC) Yvonne Martyn Memorial Motorsport Park for some low-pressure, high-fun khanacross action.

Getting the Seat Time In

The format for the day was excellent: two runs at three different tests. This gave us both plenty of time behind the wheel, honing our skills on the tight cones and getting a much-needed injection of seat time. The tests were well-designed, demanding fast hands and quick thinking, which is exactly the kind of workout we love.

In short, we had an absolute blast! We drove hard, got a little bit sideways, and enjoyed every minute of the competitive yet incredibly friendly atmosphere. We can happily confirm that we finished the day full of adrenaline and went home with big smiles on our faces. Khanacross is easily one of the most accessible and fun forms of motorsport out there!

Kudos to the LDCC Team

A massive congratulations goes out to Adam and the entire Lithgow District Car Club team for running a superb event. Everything ran smoothly, the setup was brilliant, and the atmosphere was welcoming. Thanks for a successful day—we can’t wait to be back!

Our Next Gear: Junior Development

Seeing the energy at Lithgow got us more excited than ever about the future of our sport.

Our next goal is to get the North Shore Sporting Car Club (NSSCC) involved in a joint event with the LDCC to help relaunch a dedicated junior development program. Khanacross is the perfect, safe training ground for young drivers to learn car control. We want to help foster the next generation of rally talent!

Stay tuned for more updates as we get this exciting initiative off the ground.
