Testing

Get to grips with the fastest fleet of arrive-and-drive karts before racing in the BUKC.

If you’ve never been in a 2-stroke kart, the karts used in the BUKC are unlike anything you have ever been on. They are specially built hardcore racing machines which accelerate to 60mph in 4.5 seconds.

As such every driver racing in the BUKC must attend at least one of the test days in order to obtain their BUKC Race Licence.

BUKC RACE LICENCE

To race in the Premier Class or Intermediate Class you must obtain a BUKC Race Licence.

To obtain a BUKC Race Licence you must attend at least one of the BUKC Test Days where your on track speed and safety will examined by our race instructors. The race instructors will look for the following:

That you are capable of BUKC race pace. Typically this will mean that your best 3 laps are within 110% of a reference time, usually the fastest times from an experienced drivers test session. Please note this may vary due to conditions etc.
That you can avoid regular accidents. It is important that drivers are capable of staying on the track without falling or spinning off as this creates unnecessary safety hazards for other drivers.
That you obey the yellow flags as required by the BUKC Rules & Regulations
That you have read and understood all of the BUKC Rules & Regulations. You may be asked at any time by one of our race instructors about the rules.

Our race instructors will be on hand to watch you around the track and offer you tips on how to get up to speed and drive around without spinning off. Use the race instructors to your advantage; they are there to help you.

If you do not obtain your BUKC Race Licence at the first attempt,you can book into another of the test days.

Each test day consists of 2 x 15 minute sessions per driver. The price of a test day is £95 per driver payable prior to the day.
