About

Hello.

I’ve been arranging arrive and drive races, both Team Endurance and Ironman style, for over 10 years now and I’ve always wanted to feel part of a championship or series. While there are a few companies out there that already offer this experience, they are aimed at the top end of karting and as such the cost can quickly build up and become prohibitive.

I started The Hire Kart Cup 2015 and ran 3 successful and well supported races.

The 2016 calendar is now confirmed and we have 7 races booked at 6 different venues.

The Hire Kart Cup is an affordable ‘Arrive and Drive’ karting championship using the hire karts and raceware provided by some of the South of England’s best outdoor circuits. By keeping it as ‘Arrive and Drive’ it keeps costs low, just £53.21 average per round for 2016. I book each track exclusively to ensure we get a small discount compared to one of the tracks pre organised open races and to ensure we can always race against each other.

For 2016 I’m aiming to have 20 members who will have pre paid a small membership fee. This fee will be recouped throughout the season as the members race costs will be lower than a non member. Members will also have access to early booking for some of the races that can only cater for 20 karts on track. If for any reason a member cannot make an event, the space will be offered to non members 2-3 weeks before the race date.

Non members are of course still welcome and for 2016 Buckmore Park, Milton Keynes and Lakeside have limited availability for non members to book before this 2-3 week deadline. Alternatively you can sign up for the mailing list or keep an eye on our social media pages to see if some of the members only races become available to non members.

Along with this site there is also a mailing list which I’ll use to notify people of cheap practice sessions at some of the tracks I plan to arrange races at. These practice sessions will be open sessions run by the circuit and not by myself so they won’t be exclusive for our group but may be a good opportunity to have some fun in-between the main race events.

The Hire Kart Cup is not run for profit.

To register your interest please either just book one of the upcoming races or email nathanwillits@me.com to be added to the emailing list for future races or practice events.

Thanks

Nathan Willits
