NEW! Wednesday 31st March – The Sport 1200 Sprint

A brand new series for 2010 this event has been designed to be the third step of our sprint ladder. If you have mastered the Buckmore 600, worked your way up the Pro 1200 leader board, then the Sport 1200 is exactly where you should go next. The format is the same, practice, a series of point scoring heats and finals for the top drivers, but this time you will experience the full revs of the RX7 Sport kart. This time you will need to brake before Pullman’s! We will be awarding trophies in two weight categories with the dividing line being 85kg. This gives the ‘fuller figured’ driver a chance against the ‘racing snakes’. Please find out more, and reserve your place by clicking the button

And that’s just March!

A word of warning:

Our summer events – March to Oct – have always sold out very quickly, even last year they did. If you are planning your racing this summer, don’t get caught out by the dreaded “Reserve List Only” signs that can totally spoil your plans.

And now for something completely different

No, not the Spanish Inquisition but something we have never arranged before, an all day karting experience!

The day begins with arrival and breakfast before donning race suits and helmets and enjoying a morning of sprint racing with our RX7 Pro karts. A finger buffet lunch provides the energy required for the afternoon event, a 45 minute solo endurance aboard the full revving high speed RX7 Sport karts. After the race there will be a presentation followed by a chance to chat with your fellow competitors over a well earned drink in the club bar.

This all day event is perfect for very small groups of friends who want the full Buckmore Experience but lack the numbers to book an exclusive event. You can see all the details by clicking the button below.
