Hello,
Would anyone be interested in taking part in a 24hr karting event in August this year? I'm looking for one extra driver to complete a team entry.
The race is held at Teeside Autodrome in Middlesborough over the Sat/Sun of the August Bank Holiday weekend, with practice sessions on the Friday. Qualifying and the race itself are on Saturday, with the race starting at 12 noon.
The circuit can provide a kart, fuel and tyres plus everything else needed to do the race at a cost of £900. I'm looking to enter a team of 5 drivers, of which I already have 4 (including myself). So, the costs per person would be £180 each, all in.
The organisers require 50% up front (£450 for the team - ie £90 each) once the application is submitted. There are then 2 further payments - one on 1st May, the next on 1st July - (£225 for the team - ie £45 each).
So, each team member would make the following payments -
1. End of March (say) - £90
2. 1st May - £45
3. 1st July - £45
There are 50 places available and so far 25 of those have been taken. The person I spoke to at the circuit told me that all places are usually taken by May.
Having driven the Teeside circuit I can say for definite that it is a great track and some good speeds are possible. The karts themselves would be twin engined 4-strokes that are pretty quick, but not as fast as a Rotax/TKM.
Here's a link to the website and the details on the race -

I'd love to find someone who's up for this as I reckon it would be a fantastic weekend, even if you're no Lewis Hamilton!
Cheers,
Tom
