Derby Pro Kart Racing (50mph)

Overview:
There's nothing quite like a good karting session to get you and the rest of the group in the mood for plenty of wisecracks and banter. The competitive nature of the event gets everyone in high spirits, and provides a great adrenaline rush. It'll provide a chance for those in the group who don't know each other too well to bond and get to know one another - which is a successful recipe for an epic day out!

The Track
This superb venue provides a 550 metre track demanding enough to test all drivers yet still offering plenty of overtaking opportunities. The tarmac is 6.5m wide at all points with 3m grass runoffs on both sides and incorporates eight bends, three of which are taken at high speed. A special type of blacktop, which does not soften in the heat of summer, has been used in order to provide maximum grip and fast lap times. Concrete curbs and 2 metre wide rumble strips also enhance the racing experience.

The Karts
The karts are JB Revolution pro-karts with twin Honda GX160 four stroke engines of 5.5Hp each. Gearing is set to give a top speed of 50mph, although if the track were longer they could accelerate up to 70mph plus.  That’s pretty quick when your bum is only a few inches off the deck.

The Race
The endurance race format is a team event (generally 2-3 to a team). The object being to cover the greatest number of laps in the allotted time.  Each driver spends approximately 25 minutes at the wheel (including 5 minutes practice), which means that in teams of three the race itself will be one hour long. All teams are on the track at the same time so overtaking, pit stops and strategy play a huge part in determining the eventual winner. A display screen near the pits keeps everyone up to date on the leaders and slowcoaches.

Notes
Minimum group size is 10 people
