Overview:
There's nothing quite like a bit of cut throat rivalry with your mates, and this type of high end kart racing encapsulates it perfectly. It’s said that nice guys come last, so the question here is do you have the competitive instinct, controlled aggression and, above all, the kahoonas required to finish first? Or are you happy to gaze meekly down the tailpipe of your pal as he out foxes you up the inside and sails onto the chequered flag and glory……………
The Karts:
The boys in the pits have just taken charge of a new fleet of some of the most advanced general usage karts available.
These 390cc babies are no pussycats and, in the right hands, are capable of hitting an awesome (and scary) 60mph when fully wound out.
The Track:
This snaking 1050m monster is challenging, wet or dry. It needs respect and sensible use of the throttle when laying down the power on the back end of the bends, too much and you spin, not enough and you're behind. The 200m back straight, flowing into a broad sweeping hairpin, allows you to really drop the hammer and tests your manhood with regard to how late you leave the breaking.
The fully undercover combined Pitts / Viewing area allow for a close up look at the commotion of the driver changes and have an electronic lap time and position display.
Endurance Team Racing:
After kitting up and a quick safety briefing drivers, will be divided into teams of 2 and given a short run on the circuit to get a feel of the karts and the corners.
From there the flag will drop and you’re off on a 1 hour non-stop ‘Le Mans’ style race. Which ever team (up to 20 karts on the track at any one time) has the most laps racked up on the computer scoring system when the clock stops is the winner. Your arms and shoulders will start to go after about 8 laps of wrestling with the circuit, so well managed pit stops and driver changes will be key to your chances.
A presentation follows the race with trophies for the top 3 teams and a bottle of bubbly to spray for the winners.
