The Raceway’s Summer Tuition Programme
 |
The Raceway is launching its Summer Tuition Programme. We will be offering dates during the school holidays for tuition and practice sessions. For the younger kids we will be offering a series of structured lessons whereby you can increase your ability over the course of the summer. We will be holding 4 structured lessons in the categories: Bambino, Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced.
Bambino: Ages 6-7 designed to encourage a youngster’s initial steps into karting. The lesson lasts one hour and will introduce children to our cadet karts eventually finishing with the children taking their first safe laps around the circuit. £40pp.
Beginner: Ages 6-11 (all 6-7 year olds to have satisfactorily completed the Bambino lesson). A one hour lesson designed to get the children driving round the circuit safely braking for the corners and accelerating down the straights. £40pp.
Intermediate: Ages 6-11 (all kids to have satisfactorily completed the Beginner lesson). A one hour lesson to introduce the children to the concept of racing lines and braking points to encourage smoother and faster driving. £40pp.
Advanced: Ages 6-11 (all kids to have satisfactorily completed the Intermediate lesson). A one hour lesson to further develop the skills of the driver. You will be braking later than before for corners and accelerating earlier out of them, demonstrating your ability with a view to increasing the speed of your kart if your driving merits it. £40pp.
We will be also holding arrive and drive sessions during the day priced at £28pp for 30 minutes driving. This is for ages 6-15 (6-7 year olds to have satisfactorily completed the Bambino lesson) in either our Zip cadets or our Bowman karts.Arrive and drive sessions for 16s and over are also available in our adult Cobra karts priced at £40pp.

START
YOUR CHILD ON THE ROAD
TO SUCCESS WITH THE BKA
|
|
With the success of our first two protégées, Joseph Riley Mobil 1 British Junior
Rotax Max Champion 2008 and Junior British O plate champion 2007 and Luke Caudle
the British Senior O plate Champion 2008 and Festival Cup Winner 2007, we are now
proud to launch The British Karting Academy (BKA).
The BKA in association with Martin Hines (owner Zip Karts and founder of "Zips Young
Guns") and Bill Sisley (M.D. of Buckmore Park) and The Raceway Docklands (U.K's
premier indoor karting circuit) will provide the necessary grounding to start youngsters
on the path up the racing ladder. All their experience gleaned over decades in the
kart racing fraternity will be passed on to your child.
Our kart training programme, starting in December 2008, is specifically designed
for the novice driver and aimed at children aged between 6 and 16. Training sessions
will be held every Sunday at the Raceway Docklands indoor circuit.
Each course will include a visit from a member of the World Champions Zip Young
Guns team to talk about how they progressed from juniors, like them, to be champions.
There will also be fast track courses available over Christmas and half term holidays.
As all our courses start at The Raceway Docklands, this will enable us to begin
their training, in a controlled environment, each kart having individual speed controls
ensuring the safest possible start to their careers.
The BKA will provide all the necessary equipment to start your child on their first
steps to a racing career but whilst some will show ability, there is no point rushing
out and buying karts, suits etc. until they have been professionally assessed. Zip
Kart Drivers discount cards will be awarded to all those that complete the course.
Once your child has completed our three stage programme, they will progress on to
Buckmore Park the U.K.'s No.1 outdoor circuit where they will continue their training
and gain valuable experience racing on a full international outdoor circuit. A full
ARKS & RAC MSA training course can be completed at this stage after which your child
will be eligible to compete in major competitions.
The BKA's top drivers will be given the opportunity of a Zip Kart "Young Gun" track
test day, giving them the chance to progress to the "Young Guns" team which has
produced drivers such as David Coulthard, Anthony Davidson, Jason Plato, Luke Hines,
Lewis Hamilton and our latest protégée Oliver Rowland, who has followed in Lewis's
footsteps, by being recently signed for the McLaren-Mercedes junior driver programme!

THE BRITISH KARTING ACADEMY
From December 2008 The British Karting Academywill operate from our Docklands Raceway
Indoor Kart Circuit for drivers aged 6 - 16 years.
Cadet 6 - 7 years
The youngsters will be taken through the basics of go karting by our trained personnel.
The course will start with a lesson to teach pupils all about the karts and how
to control them, followed by further lessons on racing lines, breaking and turn-in
points and all they need to know to prepare them for their first race.
Cadet 8 - 13 years
Like the 6 - 7 year olds' category, all drivers will be taken through the basics
of karting, depending on their experience level. There are 5 lessons available to
take pupils from novice to advanced level. After they have successfully completed
our kart race training programme they will be ready to compete in our BKA Championship.
Junior 11 - 16 years
This category is for older and taller drivers. There are lessons for all experience
levels although the main focus will be on honing what each pupil has already learned.
Each lesson will take place in our single-engine Bowman karts, capable of speeds
approaching 50mph. Like our Cadet category, there will also be a BKA Championship
for our Junior drivers.
