Our Story So Far

Lawnmower Racing Tasmania started in late 2017.

Since it has been running we have seen our sport slowly and steadily growing with more participants getting involved with every meet. We are a pretty easy going bunch of people and we try not to take things too seriously.

As a group we have tried to make things as easy as possible for people to get involved. Our build regulations are not overly complex as we want the people who build their mowers to have a little bit of freedom in how they put their mowers together.

We are currently looking for a home track, something that is available on a regular basis after our track we had is no longer due to the venue shutting its doors.

As we have grown, we have built our own track maintenance equipment including a smudge for smoothing down a track, a water filled roller and a water tanker for dust management.

When we first started, all of us ran together. As time has gone on, we now break into grades/classes based on lap time. The fastest in the class starts from the back of the field. Sometimes they can be up to 3/4 of a lap behind at the start. We try to have everyone arriving at the end together after 5 laps. It makes for an exciting finish.We are all learning as we go, and our racers are getting more and more skilled at this with every meeting we have.

Lawnmower Racing Tasmania also attends car shows and other events with displays of the mowers to gain interest from the general public. They certainly attract attention. If you see us out there, pop over and say G'day.
