Want to enjoy the Rotax Festival over and over again? Well those guys at TDI Media have been working ridiculously hard and have edited, commentated and published the footage already!

We’ve added it all to a playlist for your convenience over on our YouTube page!

After the Monster that was the Round 9/Rotax Festival/NKRA Grande Finals/British Kart Championship warm-up, the Championship Tables have now been updated.

With the number of abandoned rounds affecting this year, the tables are the closest they have been in recent years with them all being wide open ahead of the Final Round in November.

Make sure you all take a look and get in touch with any issues or questions.

With almost 200 drivers in attendance, that left us requiring excess heats!
4 NKRA Senior Blue heats for their Grande Finals,
5 Junior Max Heats for their 46 Competitors
6 Senior Max Heats for their 53 Competitors!

With so much competition for the Grand Prizes, we naturally expected the competition to be fierce, close, with a number of spills to counteract the thrills.
We were surprised!

The racing throughout all of the heats was immensely close with almost no penalties outside of Nosecones. The Finals were a little more interesting, but we got through them all (Though, I think the stewards are getting their sleeping bags out..

Thank You! It wasn’t without a couple of hitches, but considering we don’t really attract these numbers at club level, you have all allowed us to spend as much time out of the office and watching the racing!

Congratulations to the victors of the day, winning the NKRA Grande Finals, The Rotax O Plates, or Money as a runner-up, we hope you all can go home with huge smiles on your faces and a true sense of accomplishment.

Results are provisional at present, with them becoming official as the protest and appeal windows close. These results can be found over at https://results.alphatiming.co.uk/cpkc/2020/9/

We have had a number of members of the media with us today, with Andy Street, the Snap-Happy Steward, Virtual Racing Association and TDI Media, we’ll be sure to love and share as we get wind of all these being published.

Our next round event is the Final Round of the CPKC Championship, on the 8th November. Make sure you get your entry in ASAP to avoid missing out on the traditional Bonus 25 points for Signing On.

Cant wait until then for your fix? – We’ll just next week, the British Kart Championships make their way to Clay Pigeon Raceway for the Rotax BKC.
Be sure to keep an eye out for all the latest from them!

You will have been given a wristband on Saturday Practice. If you are returning for the Racing on Sunday, you must still have your wristband. If it is broken, you must bring it back to the circuit for a replacement.

If you do not return with your wristband, you will be required to sign on again. Due to staff shortages and the number of entered competitors, this process is likely going to delay your entry for some time!

Finally, if you have not been listed as an accompanying persons, DO NOT COME TO THE CIRCUIT.
Motorsport UK COVID Guidelines are clear that a maximum of 2 named persons can accompany a driver, and at this point in time, all of these persons will already have been submitted.

The Additional Supplimentary Regulations are now available for this weekend’s Rotax Festival.

For those who didn’t see our previous update on our Facebook Page:

With thought to the restrictions put in place due to the Covid-19 pandemic, in the spirit of social distancing, we have removed the ‘Pay on Day’ option from our online entry page.This option, whilst convenient for some, causes an unnecessary influx of people into the building to pay, which stands against government and Motorsport UK guidance with regard social distancing.Therefore, all entries must now be fully paid up when the entries are made.

Off the back of this, we should send an update to those users who have selected Pay On Day before we removed the option.
If you are one of those drivers who have entered and not yet paid, you have until Saturday 3rd October. Those who have not paid by Saturday 3rd October will have their entry removed to make room for those on our reserve list!

Head over to https://cpkc.alphatiming.co.uk/register/series to pay for your entry.

The championship tables have now been updated for your viewing pleasure.

Drop Rounds have now been fully introduced to help you know exactly how you’re fairing in the drastically reduced 2020 season.

Head over to https://www.claypigeonkartclub.com/championship/ to check them out.

The weather was beautiful, the track was sticky and the competition was fierce!

Thank you to all 152 competitors who made it to race with us at Round 8.

We should also extend our thanks to the army of volunteers which consists of Officials and Marshals amongst other positions. Without you all dedicating your time, we couldn’t host the racing we love to be a part of.

Thank you to our 2 visiting series, the NKRA (Senior Blue) who have become a bit of a staple of our club meetings, and Dart Motorsport, bringing their 4 strokes on steroids to tear up the circuit.

It was also fantastic to see Ian and Christine Rennison back at one of our events! For those of your new to the club, Ian and Christine were a huge part (the biggest part), of the Raceway, as well as the club, for so many years.

I have started to prep the results for the Championship table update and i hope to have them published in the next day or two.

Our next round is on the 11th of October and hosts the Rotax Festival and the Rotax O Plates. It’ll be a busy one so make sure you get your entries in asap.
