Event Overview
The closest you will get to a full on Formula 1 style race.  Using some of the best karts on what is regarded as the best track in the UK and up to 25 karts on track at one time this is a unique experience.

Overview:
Who has got the nerves of steel needed to do a Schumacher and come in first, earning bragging rights over the rest of the group for the rest of time? Put your foot down and feel the adrenaline race as you belt past the competition. But keep in control, the sinking feeling as they all sail back past you when you spin out is best avoided.

The Track:
Is 300 metres of straights, s-bends and hairpins. At up to 6 metres wide, there is plenty of room so you don’t end up in a follow-the-leader race – overtaking is the name of the game.

The Race Format:
Practice Laps – 1 x 5 lap practice
Race Laps – 5 x 8 lap heats (all drivers)
Final – 1 x 12 lap final (fastest 6 drivers)

Duration:

Overview:
Gentlemen start your engines! Go full throttle around the David Brabham-designed karting circuit which will test drivers of all abilities, especially if it's raining! 

Once you've donned your freshly laundered Sparco race suits, balaclavas and helmets and have had a safety briefing from one of the race directors, you'll be let loose behind the wheel of a 200cc Honda kart. 

The 450m circuit features long straights, hairpins, chicanes and a lengthy tunnel. Master the circuit early on and you could challenge Eddie Irvine's track record; get it wrong and you could be clocking times that would embarrass your mum.

Overview
There is karting and there is ‘hold on for grim death bring a clean pair of underpants' karting. This experience definitely falls into the later. 390cc Thunderkarts capable of 70mph, on a race tarmac 650 metre floodlit outdoor track, make this the best karting experience you will get in the midlands.

Race Format
After a sign in and a race briefing, depending upon the numbers in your group and the number of other drivers in the race you will be split into teams of up to four people per kart. You will then take part in a short practice session to get you warmed up with the handling of the karts and the circuit layout. The race will start after ‘gridding up', and then full non-stop racing, the winning team being the team completing the most number of laps within the allotted time spam. The race length depends upon the number of people per team - which is worked out by multiplying the number of drivers per team x ½ hour (eg if three drivers per team the race will last 1½ hrs, 4 drivers per team and the race will last 2 hrs). Therefore each driver will get approximately ½ hr behind the wheel.

The Karts
Built by Bill Sisley (recognised as the foremost karting expert in the UK with over 35 years experience in all aspects of the sport, manufacturing British championship winning karts for ten consecutive years) , these babies are no pussycats - full race spec 15bhp karts with 4 stroke Honda GX390cc engines. In the right hands they are capable of 70mph.

The Track
650m long race tarmac surfaced, with full run-off areas, marshals, changing facilities and electronic lap timing. The circuit has a series of very tight turn for high G force and a couple of open turns that can be taken flat out.

Trophies
Medals & bubbly for the winning team.
