Following on from my previous thread about outdoor karting... http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,98757.0.html

... I said I would post up about a race at Lakeside in August so here it is.

I've been planning for ages to organise a few outdoor karting races.. intact I want to run a series of them where people can compete in a "season" if they wish. I've always wanted to race in club100 and be part of a championship but the costs are prohibitive for me at £175+ per race. So to keep costs low I'm aiming to run a series of races using the hire karts and raceware of each track we visit. Each race should be £65 or less.

Feel free to join in if your interested in the whole season or if you just want to take part in a single race. Maybe in the future if it gets very popular I'll have to restrict it to 'championship drivers' first etc but for now anyone is welcome.

2015 Round 1 – Friday August 28th, 7pm arrival – Lakeside Karting



Race Format

19:00 – Arrival, Sign in, Suit up, Briefing
20:00 – 10 min Practice / Qualifying
20:15 – Race Start. 30 min sprint from a grid start
20:50 – Trophies, Lap times

Cost and Payment

The cost is £65 per driver which is payable to me as I’ve already booked and paid for the track. Please pay via the paypal link below either using your paypal account or if you don’t have an account you can pay direct with a credit or debit card



Drivers and other details are on a little blog site I made. Apologies its so basic at the moment. I'll develop it as I go along.

There is also a Facebook page you can like to keep up to date with new races.



Thanks and feel free to ask any questions.

Maybe it sounds fun... or maybe you will race :)

Don't be put off by the idea of a 'championship', you can just race a single race, your not having to commit to anything. The championship is just there for people that want to race at all of the events.

quick bump

Sorry. Me again.

I've got a small window where I could actually cancel this and get my money back.

Obviously I'd prefer to run the event and race but I've been surprised by the lack of response so perhaps people aren't interested so much in karting these days?

When I used to run events a few years ago the uptake was pretty fast and I always filled the grid.

Can I ask is it the Price? Venue? Race Format?

Anyway if anyone is actually interested if they can let me know ASAP otherwise as I say I'll have no option but to cancel and try to get my money back.

Regards

Nathan Willits
