BUKC BRITISH UNIVERSITIES KARTING CHAMPIONSHIP

Drivers Championship 2012

  • What is it? The last four Drivers Championships have been awesome and so now it time for the DC to make a welcome return for 2012. It's the best way to finish the season. It's the chance to race your team mates and everyone else without the pressure of the championship at stake.
  • What is the format? Each driver will race in 2*10minute heats plus a 10 minute A or B final. Grids will be randomly allocated for the first heat, and reversed for the second. The results of the two heats determine where you qualify in the A or B final
  • How much is it? £60 inc VAT per driver
  • When is it? The afternoon of the final (9th) round of the BUKC at Buckmore Park, Wednesday 3rd April 2012
  • What are the minimum weight thresholds? Lightweight: 75KG, Heavyweight: 82KG, Super Heavyweight: 90KG
  • I hear there are 2 different weight classes? That's right, almost. There are actually 3 classes: Lightweights, Heavyweights and Super Heavyweights but the Super Heavyweights will run within the Heavyweight class.
  • How many drivers will be there in each class There will be 64 lightweights and 64 heavyweights (including super heavyweights)
  • Can I register my team mates? No, drivers must register individually
  • How do I register? Registration for the 2012 Championship will be open at 6pm on Wednesday 21st March
  • What is the prize? If you win, you'll be joining the winning BUKC team at Silverstone on the Thursday of the British GP as VIP guests of Red Bull AND invited direct to the finals of the Red Bull Kart Fight 2012.

There has always been some awesome racing in the Drivers Championship. Full results from previous years can be found here for 2011 and here for 2010.

And this year's 2012 championship results are available here.
