Driver notes

Preferred overtaking spots:
- End of the main straight.
- End of the back straight.
Kart review:
Technically, Club100 karts are rental karts, but these machines use a water cooled 125cc engine made by Rotax. They are the fastest arrive and drive karts in the UK. They’re great—far faster than a twin engine pro kart and about 80% as fast as an Owner Driver Rotax.
Value for money:
60 mins testing costs £210 inc. VAT, which isn’t all that cheap, but essential if you have never driven the circuit before. Club100 also offer 30min testing for drivers on race days too.

Inside Track
Clay Pigeon features a rather large club house with an awesome viewing gallery. If it’s wet, like it was today, the entire audience can seek shelter.
