Overview:
Put your toe down! With honour, prestige and a trophy on the line, this is no time to be pussy footing around. Break late into the double chicane and accelerate out of it to take full advantage of the long downhill straight, where the track will be whistling past underneath you at an eye watering 50 mph.
The centre features a computerized timing system that is able to time karts with an accuracy of 1/100 of a second and can display and print all relevant race time information. Drivers will be presented with this information at the end of their event.
The Track:
The track is 350m long and consists of a double chicane, a long downhill straight and a sweeping right hander where the amount throttle you dare give it is likely to decide the outcome.
Karts:
200cc Stratos karts feature up-rated engines tuned to 5000 rpm and geared to give in excess of 50 mph. You are held firmly in place with the aid of Tillet racing seats and all karts feature up-rated hydraulic disc brakes. The karts are maintained to exacting standards and are checked on a weekly basis to ensure quality.
The Endurance Race Format:
After a full safety instruction participants will be split into separate teams. With between 4 and 8 karts on the track at any one time, each team member will be given 30 minutes to complete as many laps as they can. The winning team will be those who complete the most laps, giving them the freedom to taunt their rivals for however long they see fit! The winning team will also be presented with post race bubbly and a commemorative plaque.
Duration:
Approximately 2-3 hours, depending on group size.
Sprint Format:
Following a short practice session, up to 8 drivers will be on the course at the same time for a fast and furious race over 90 laps. The winner will be the speed demon who completes the full 90 laps first.
Duration:
Approximately 1.5 hours, depending on group size.
