    I will keep an eye out on the weather here and let you guys know if the track floods, but seems okay so far. They confirmed with me today 11am start. Arrival at 10:30 (or before). I booked for 6 but understand we might have more like 8? I will reconfirm numbers with them tomorrow.

    It's been raining on and off here all night, keep us up to date. At this stage i will probably only make it if @TheStig13 can pick me up on the way past if he goes.

    The rain is pretty bad where I live in Brisbane.

    Could I confirm that it is "Xtreme Karting" (https://www.xtremekarting.com/)? Because I wasn't sure haven't not been to this ev event before they are the ones that have the Ricciardo Karts. I just called them and they said the tarmac track is wet but not flooded... yet. The dirt track is out of the picture.

    EDIT: I'm going out for breakfast. I'm still keen for the record - the track is okay apparently.

    Yeah it is Xtreme Karting. Sorry i forgot to post that important detail. I just confirmed with them too. Still open at this stage. The weather is terrible so completely good if anyone can't make it.

    Sorry guys, I won't be able to make it today - didn't want to risk driving 3 hours if the track was closed due to the weather.

    Thanks everyone and Pringles for organising!

    Dunno how much wet weather experience others have, but I've had none, so I enjoyed every minute. It was proper raining in the last two sessions. I'm not surprised that I looked like a rookie and got pulled over having understeered off the track every second corner in the first session, but the next two were heaps better. Very keen to go back in the dry and will absolutely attend next year's event.

    EDIT:

    Expressing my best times as a percentage of Pringle's best time for each session (not global best due to the changing weather conditions):
    119%
    106%
    103%
