Karting

[TonyF]

I can if there is enough interest organise an event before winter sets in at Daytona milton keynes for like minded supercar drivers.
The format can be pretty much how we want it, just need to gauge interest.
It is an outdoor circuit and is approx 1 mile per lap and there are 2 types of kart available for us;
Twin engine prokarts approx 50 mph or junior rotax engined karts approx 60-65 mph and much more responsive.
Obviously the latter will be more expensive.

Count me in.

Rotax please.

[DoubleG]

100% in for the rotax.

[TonyF]

Ok, I will get prices etc and post back.

Tony is it FML only?

[TonyF]

No, all welcome.

[TonyF]

Ok, we can do either;
5 min practice/qualy followed by a 40 min race for £105 each
The above with 50 min race £125
Or a 1 hour race £145

Mini GP;

5 Min practice
3x 8 min heats
10 min final
£120 each
This is all in Rotax Max karts with the junior max engines.

We need a minimum of 20 drivers to make this viable so please register your interest.
Currently, they have weekend dates available in October ( Sat or Sun )

unless you do a triathlon ever weekend, a 50 min or 1 hour race in a Rotax would kill you!!

I've only driven Rotax Max, but if the Juniors are anything like it this man speaks sense.

[TonyF]

I agree, I just gave options but made no comment because I wasnt sure whether there were any "ringers" out there !!
Personally, I think a 40 min race will be more than enough.

40 mins will probably wreck everyone too lol.

I did a few seasons in Rotax Max and loved every minute of it, was shattered at the end of the day though.

Sounds a lot of fun.

I'd do the 40 min race.

[jontysafe]

Would love to take part! Count me in

[UH-Matt]

Have also only run a senior Rotax, but I could never do a 50 minute race

Needs to be 20 minutes tops!

Unfortunately its most likely that the skinniest person will win on a rotax kart (assuming they can drive reasonably)

Skinny does not equal me hence my move from karting to MR2 Championship racing

[mattdaniels]

I've done a few of their 40 min race format evenings and it is a bit knackering but not too bad. Much better format than the heats/final one. The 40 min format is much more of a leveller for those of less aerodynamic build because it rewards consistency and concentration rather than being a skinny lightweight who can banzai a couple of laps. It's a great circuit too. The karts have been questionable on occasion but you get that issue anywhere. Count me in. depending on when it is.

There's a reasonable chinese restaurant about 5 min up the road too :-)
