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 Saturday morning.

Daytona are also laying on a few extra optional practice sessions on Friday 26th March.

The sessions booked are:

• 3.45pm arrival
• 4.30pm arrival

Each session is 30 minutes long, and drivers may only book once session.

Transport

Thanks to the Sport England funding we have been able to up the fuel budget from 20p per mile to 25p per mile. There is therefore a fuel budget of 25p per mile for every team travelling to the final.

This assumes one vehicle travelling to Milton Keynes and back again.

To check your budget please see the fuel budget spreadsheet

You may also want to consider organising a car pull / minibus between nearby teams.

To claim a refund, you'll need to keep a copy of your fuel receipt.

You must get a VAT receipt otherwise I will not be able to give you a refund.
