The Track
We currently offer 2 track configurations, the longer “Championship” configuration and the shorter and original “Classic” configuration. The track is a highly technical circuit that requires the perfect racing line to extract maximum lap speed and is also a physically demanding circuit. Both layouts can be run in anti-clockwise and clockwise directions, the nature of each layout changes significantly with race direction.
Spectator grandstands are available at “the sweeper” and along the main straight, both of which allow viewing of the entire circuit. Indoor air conditioned viewing from the club rooms is available along the main straight.
Women In Racing
Karting is the adrenaline sport for everyone. Our sport can be enjoyed by both females and males of all ages.
-
Increasing the participation of females in motorsport is a club priority.
-
Females are under-represented in motorsport which we are striving to change as karting is a sporting field in which both genders can compete together on an equal footing.
