How many karts are the max? I'll definitely have one, if someone can come back with a definitive answer I'll get more.

Just spoke to the Circuit, 20 Karts Max! Gary said an Hour Practise, it is actually Half hour, but that half hour session is timed and that will determine your Grid position for the start of the race!
I pick my Daughter up from East Midlands Airport on a Friday night and its always gridlocked past Notts Uni up to the main Roundabout near the Airport! i would say realistically hour and Half to be on the safe side.

Have you ever driven the road that runs parallel to tbe A453? Its a lot of fun, and almost always has hardly any cars on it.

...how long will it take me to get there on a friday afternoon. I work near Donington so junction 24 M1. I'm struggling to finish before 5pm. What is the format for the event i.e. what is the latest i could trot up. Also does anyone need another member in their team....I guarantee i won't be a weak link!


should take you 45 mins i guess but depends on traffic

I think you can if you email PetrolTed, or does he only advertise car related things? Surely it could go in the OilyPages?

I'd be up for this but if your starting at 6.00pm I guess you'll be finishing in the dark and the flood-lights at PFI aint up to much. So I'll come and spectate.

20 laps in a pro-kart isn't that physical (I guess it's a question of what your used to) Last 2 times I raced there I did 70 laps in the morning and 120 in the afternoon, when the endurance championship was running drivers often did 2h stints (about 200 laps)

You should try 20 laps in Adrians Biland kart (as physical as 250 gearbox), then you will know about it!

Hi Paul

sure your more than welcome if you dont want to join in the fun, we have a hog roast booked too so the more the merrier as we will have too much food by the looks of it

might also have some guest racers appearing

ive just got back from PF with KD, im still shaking.. .. .. ..

thats a fantastic 430 he0 has, sounds a real weapon!

and loved the pop it made on the change up out my road, I could hear you cruise off for ages

im gonna invite some non PH people to make up the numbers, 20 karts is the max they will allow so only really 4 karts left now, if you want to get invloved we could do with knowing ASAP.

thanks

They are the ones I've driven. Estimate that they get you up to around 40mph. Well the one I was in did anyway. I've always assumed that some were quicker than others.

This sounds interesting......do we get any names? If this is going to turn into a celebrity race I might be tempted.
