NKC is a national kart racing championship taking place over 6 rounds at 6 different circuits, for drivers aged 16 and over. Following 2 successful years using the TKM BT82 engine, for 2019 we have added an additional Rotax Max class. All drivers are limited to a single set of slick race tyres for the season.
The provisional calendar can be found below. The dates and tracks should be confirmed by the end of November.

TYRES
We are currently testing the popular Maxxis HG1 slick tyre, which has been used successfully in endurance and multi-meeting sprint applications in the UK. If testing goes as well as we expect then this will become our new tyre for 2019, sticking with the 1 set for the season rule.
Only tyres purchased from NKC may be used in the championship races. There is no restriction on tyres used in practice sessions.
REGISTER
Registration for the 2019 championship is now open.
