Why Electric Karts?

Why does Teamworks Karting use electric karts? Everyone else uses much cheaper petrol or LPG karts, so why does Teamworks Karting pioneer the use of electrics?

Quite simply, electric karts are faster, cleaner, and more fun!

Comparison of Electric vs Combustion Engines

What does all this mean for our customers? Faster, closer, cleaner racing! (...and it won't be long before emissions regulations mean all the other circuits start copying us!)

Teamworks Karting Looks Forward to its First Cadet Grand Prix

Following the success of our Cadet Clubs, the last two months have seen our young drivers showcasing their existing skills and learning new ones in order to achieve their very own Teamworks Karting Race License.  Under the tuition of Race Directors Chris Twitchen and Joshua Poolton and ably assisted by our experienced track marshals, the best performing young drivers have been completing their licenses, enabling them to compete on an even grander scale in our first Cadet Club Grand Prix events.

Our new Cadet Grand Prix events are strictly for under 16's who have shown in previous cadet clubs that they have all the qualities of budding go kart champions.  The first events are on Sunday 14th November.

If you're under 16 and would like to participate in these new competitive events, look out for the cadet club listings on our web site or contact us on 0845 180 3020

Karting Tips - Racing

Kart racing tips from our senior Race Director, Ian Seager

Racing

Never look behind when you are racing! Everything behind you is history! By twisting to look back you are probably going to drive toward a barrier and slow yourself down. If you are thinking about the people behind you are not concentrating on what’s in front! Finally, it gives them encouragement since they know you are worried about them and distracted!

I always give three words of advise to novice racers. Concentrate, concentrate and concentrate! The race lasts from the lights to the flag, and in between you should be using every ounce of concentration to maximise the performance of the kart, get past the people in front and keep the ones behind firmly where they should be! Dont wave to your mates, never celebrate overtaking manoeuvres, don’t get angry of you get overtaken or make a mistake. These just waste concentration. Finally, never rehearse your victory speech until you have actually crossed the winning line!
