The Race Format
After a 4-lap practise session to get used to the kart and track, every driver races 5 times. Each race consists of 5 karts over a 3-laps, meaning each driver starts in every place on the grid including once from pole. The top 12 contenders then compete to race in the final, in two 4-lap races of 6 karts, with the top three in each race qualifying for the final. The final is longer still at 5 laps with the 3 podium finishers each receiving trophies.
The Track
This excellent pro track is one of the longest we know of at some 650 metres.
The special tarmac surface provides for ‘Real-Grip’ ensuring speed without compromising safety. Emphasis is on skill through corners, with the 7.5 metre width providing plenty of opportunity for overtaking.
The Karts
These Honda karts are the impressive 270cc single engine versions incorporating the latest liquid gas fuel technology. Capable of sustained speeds of 50mph down the straight, the three point steering means cornering is challenging and fun.
Duration
