Ok,

Here we go again. I am putting another karting event together at www.suttoncircuit.co.uk/ probably the best outdoor circuit in leicestershire.

Prospective Date: 28th Feb
Prospective Cost: £40 per head

Format: Either A Number of sprint races with finals or an Endurance (approx 2hrs) Whichever you guys prefer.

I need an initial poll of number before I commit to anything with the circuit.

Definitely up for this again Patrick - count me in.

Did the new Sheffield circuit just before Christmas and it was almost a revelation. By far the best outdoor Karting circuit that I have driven and the corporate Karts were fantastic.

There is a but though - The black and white diagonal flags are just too much of a common site - they are not big on racing it would appear

This is a shame, as the facility is awesome.
