Overview:
There's nothing quite like a bit of rivalry with your friends when it comes to Karting. Nice guys do come last. So, the question is, do you have the competitive instinct and controlled aggression needed to finish first, or are you happy to look down the tailpipe of your pal as he passes the chequered flag?
The Circuit:
This snaking 650m monster is challenging, wet or dry. It demands respect and sensible use of the throttle when laying down the power. Too much juice and you’ll spin like a top, not enough and you're out the back with Miss Daisy.
The Karts:
The karts are single engine 4-stroke biz corporate karts. In competent hands they are capable of speeds up to 50mph, and that's pretty fast when your bum is only an inch from the tarmac.
The Race I – Endurance (8–15 drivers)
Following the driver's instructions each person gets a 15 minute qualify session to establish their grid position. From there the chequered flag drops and you are off on a non-stop 30min race where the person who clocks up the most laps on the electronic scoring system makes off with the wreath. Great format this as everybody has their own kart for the whole time with no swapping or changing.
The Race II – Grand Prix (12-35 drivers)
To begin with each person takes on 4 practice laps to get dialled into the circuit, kart and conditions. After that the session progresses as follows with results affecting grid positions:
- 1 x 5 laps practice (all drivers)
- 4 x 5 lap heats (all drivers)
