Stuart, we can supply everything that you need for the day such as:

choice of karts
race suits
rib protectors
neck brace

Ideally you just need to turn up with your own helmet and boots (good sturdy trainers will do) we do have a number of helmets & boots but obviously these are more size critical hence better if you bring your own.

We currently have the following karts available for hire:

RM1 (32 bhp/2 speed/4 wheel disc brakes) at £350 for a full day

Senior rotax max (28bhp) at £300 for a full day

Junior rotax (20bhp) at £250 each for a full day

These are all watercooled 2 stroke engines fitted with electric start and centrifugal clutches so no problems with spinning/stalling on circuit, just press the start button and go!!!

The driving starts at 10.00am and normally finishes around 5.00pm, the day will be run in sessions covering the different classes which means you normally get 7 or 8 sessions in the day.

I'm happy to do a deal for 2 karts if you decide to have one each or alternatively you could share one kart for the day, we even supply all the drinks & biscuits etc

We will be doing the Saturday 19th July anyway but if you prefer midweek then I'll post some more Whilton Mill dates up for shortly.

We are attending Whilton Mill next Wednesday but it's going to be a test day for my boys and I've offered to run Glenn and Clive as they have been waiting to do another day but we can't run anyone else next weds unfortunately

Dan, just get in and drive the tits off them, they are very fats, and i think it will really help with your car control.

It's not just "fun karting" these are fully prepared race karts and we provide full support offering advice on both setup and driving technique.

The karts are fitted with Alfano units which log and display lap times, split sector time, rpm, temperature etc so we can see where people are lossing or gaining time.

It's does get quite competitive at times with certain individuals comparing times down to 100th of a second

Obviously on a group day when we have 5 or 6 drivers out on circuit our time is spent across everyone on the day but we would be more than happy to arrange one to one training days for people who want to develope further.
