Kart Racing

good luck Ross, show them the Roarin g Pipes but don't drive like a Maniac just booked the local kart track for my son's 15th birthday, kids thought it was huge the two years before. they will barely fit in the karts this year, most are beyond 1,80 now ...

Not had a go there. Called in one Saturday aft a few years ago but it was fully booked up so we couldn't get on. Track looked awesome though and pretty big for an indoor one.

Yer its a big track, brilliant, love the layout, the fast left and right handers under the bridge are something else, had a massive spin comming out of there

My mate's organising a day at either Hull or our local track in Sheffield next month. I can't wait!

He's keen on Hull because no one's been before and you can have more people on track than most places, but I think I'm eager to have another go on our local track in the rain. That usually mixes things up a bit!

That place is frickin' cool. I'd love to have a go there. We should organise an RD Karting meet-up somewhere in the middle of middle-earth!

Its a very good circuit, the best indoor circuit in Yorkshire they say

Indoor is a very good thing. I did a 2-hour enduro in the rain and it was an exercise in "whoever spins the least amount of times will win the race". Of course if you are competing and have your own Kart you can put on wet tyres but they never do that for arrive-and-drives.

There's a really good looking new circuit at London Bridge that is basically two tracks on two floors of the building that are connected by ramps to make a super long track. The other cool thing is they have electric Karts which have the same top speed but more torque so they accelerate to top speed much quicker.

Nice Ben!

Check out this one in Crawley... 800m track over 3 floors... Over 1 minute lap time!

Some footage from my 2nd meeting back in the sport since stopping in 2001. Filmed 2011 August. In Race 4 this same day I snapped an axle braking at around 200km/h and ended up in the wall. New chassis is now on track and is a lot faster...

outdoor circuits are way better than indoor. The one in sheffield (parkwood karting) is excellent, the karts are well maintained, and the track while short, is very very good. Ive also been to whilton mill karting near daventry and that is epic! its a large outdoor track with twin 150cc go kart engines.

How about an RD karting event? somwhere central ish - like daventry.

 

[Chris Bell]

id love that!! would get very competitive!!! How strange would that be to race eachother properly!! Awesome!!

 

[Lars Brugman]

This would be awesome!

Well I came 8th Pretty happy considering I was one of few that didn't have their own equipment. I started 20th in my final race, and got up to 8th after the first few laps and was lucky enough to stay there, I also had a great battle with a guy sponsored by Bentley! Here's the proof!


I'm number 15
