wez_p Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 I've been offered some spare places on a pro karting event at 3 Sisters Race Circuit (near Wigan). It's a 2 hour Endurance race in teams of 4 in twin-engined pro karts. There's also a 30 minute timed practice/qualifying session beforehand. Driver & re-fuelling strategy is left to the team. The circuit is about 1000m in length & the karts are powered by 2 x unrestricted 160cc Honda 4 stroke engines. This is considered to be the next step up from indoor karting & is a proper kart racing circuit, as used by the RAC British Kart Grand Prix. The karts are capable of speeds up to 70mph! It's £45 per person, teams of 4 required. The event starts at 6pm. I'm going with a few lads from work so i thought i'd see if anyone else fancies joining us? Monies will need to be paid in advance, either to me & i'll pass it on or i can give you the details of the organiser & you can pay him directly. He's organising it for people at my old company. They have 12 teams so far & the event can have up to 20 teams so it should be an eventful event! To me, this looks like the ultimate karting event. Anyone up for it?
