The Circuit
The final will be run on Daytona's fleet of twin-engined pro-karts on their full 1360m 'international' circuit.
There are a few key corners to the circuit:
- Use all the kerb on the entry into the chicane (turn 2)
- Get a good line through the off-camber turn 6
- And get a good exit out of turn 8 to carry speed all the way up the hill
If it's wet, you'll find a lot of grip off from the racing line.
Race Format
The format will be exactly the same as in the regional finals:
Each team will race in 6 races, with each driver doing exactly 2 races each.
The best 5 race results (out of the 6) will count toward your final team score.
The team with the most points will be crowned champions of the BSKC 2010!
Practice Sessions
Prior to the racing, each driver will get 10 minutes of practice on Sunday afternoon.
Daytona are also laying on a few extra optional practice sessions on Saturday 26th March.
The sessions booked are in the Saturday afternoon.
Each session is 25 minutes long, and drivers may only book once session.
If you want to book into these practice sessions, you'll have to contact Daytona directly on 0845 644 5503.
The cost is a special BSKC rate, £30 per driver for 25 minutes of practice (normal cost £42.50).
