National Kart Cup descended on GYG in North Wales for Round 5 of the championship and final round of the Northern Cup. Another new track for a lot of the drivers but there could be no complaints, from the stunning scenery and glorious weather to the fantastic facilities (there’s a shower!) and a great track. […]
Lydd Kart Circuit, certainly one of our favourite tracks of 2017, where we experienced blazing hot weather. Would we be so fortunate twice? Pretty much, yes, warm and sunny all weekend, which was enough for Mr Nick Manning to finally debut his new custom race suit. Thanks again to Attaq Motorsport for donating this prize, […]
An almost unanimous vote taken in the bar at Clay Pigeon just before the final round of NKC 2017, between a few well-oiled drivers, decided that we’d be heading to Rowrah in 2018. We’d heard good things about the place but it exceeded all our expectations. The setting, the facilities, the weather, the track, the […]
Hi everybody, Thanks again to all the drivers, their family, friends, mechanics and supporters for making Round 1 of the 2018 season a great success. Congratulations to all the trophy winners: 1st – Sam Wilson 2nd – Alfie Mellor 3rd – Jake Horan 4th – Joel Fothergill 5th – Megan Williams 1st Heavy – Alan […]
After a highly successful 2017 championship, registrations are now open for NKC 2018. And it’s promising to be bigger and even better with an increase to 6 rounds and some new circuits added to the calendar. Starting in March, the provisional list of circuits is: Whilton Mill Hooton Park Glan-Y-Gors 3 Sisters, Wigan Lydd Clay […]
Well where did that go? It seems like only a few weeks ago we turned up at Hooton Park to scribble over a load of tyres. And yet here we are, reminiscing on the inaugural NKC season. We’ve said it several times already but here it is in print, we really couldn’t have hoped for […]
Unusually, race day at Clay Pigeon is on Saturday but most drivers were able to make the Friday practise session. One notable exception was Megan Williams, who was in for a baptism of fire on race day, having never driven the circuit before. The best thing about Friday practise though is the abundance of track […]
The overcast weather we were promised didn’t materialise so race day was held in blazing sunshine and high temperatures. Was this a factor in so many having engine problems? We will probably never know but we certainly experienced an unusual rate of attrition off the dummy grid. This was our biggest meeting yet with 15 […]
Already we are past half way, following another successful meeting at Llandow. We benefitted from a very quiet track on Saturday, which meant more track time than anyone could ever need, helped by dry conditions all day. Rob Cox appeared to see this as some kind of challenge and clocked 2 hours of running on […]
Another brilliant weekend dispatched at a (mostly) sunny Fulbeck as the NKC roadshow continued. This time we welcomed 3 new drivers, Luke Gee, Caroline Jennings and Steve King. It was a shame that championship leader after Round 1, Megan Williams, was missing through injury and Sam King was having a weekend off. However, we look forward […]
