So don\u2019t worry if your project car is not moving at the moment\u2026 Jump in a go-kart!<\/p>\n<p><b>Event Details<\/b><br \/>\nA number of members recommended Thruxton, so we have been in touch with Thruxton Karting Centre. Their 900m \u201cNational\u201d circuit gives plenty of opportunities to test your cornering skills and also stretch the karts up to speed on the straights. At 7metres wide there is plenty of scope for wheel to wheel racing and brave manoeuvres!<\/p>\n<p>Our friends at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicvwcup.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Classic VW Cup<\/a> kindly offered to sponsor the trophies, which will be awarded to the fastest 3 drivers!<\/p>\n<p><b>Venue: Thruxton&gt;&gt; Andover<\/b> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thruxtonkarting.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/www.thruxtonkarting.co.uk\/<\/a><br \/>\nLocation: <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/ttpGVGdwkd92\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/ttpGVGdwkd92<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Karts: BIZ Thunderkarts with the Honda GX390cc engine giving ~13hp<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Thunderkart from Biz is combined with the 390cc Honda Thunder engine, a lighter kart with a more sensitive and progressive response to driver input, particularly at speed. In comparison to the more commonly found rental\/corporate chassis, the race chassis ultimately gives a much more rewarding karting experience. The engine is big on torque ultimately propelling the kart to speeds in excess of 55mph which is achievable on the kart circuit.\u201d<br \/>\n\u2022 13bhp, 390cc<br \/>\n\u2022 Reaches speeds in excess of 55mph!<br \/>\n\u2022 For drivers 15+ years old (ID will be required for younger drivers)<br \/>\n\u2022 Minimum height: 5ft (1.52m)<\/p>\n<p>Current lap record: 49.72 seconds.<br \/>\nVideo of a few laps at Thruxton (best lap 52.231 seconds on Lap 10)<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" id=\"yui-gen2\" class=\"restrain\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/%20eOKdBwPKLh0?wmode=opaque\" width=\"640\" height=\"390\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><b>Race format: Grand Prix<\/b><br \/>\nMinimum of 13 drivers for semi exclusivity.

Points are scored in all the heats to decide who drives in which final (all drivers take part in a final). There will be a trophy awarded to the fastest three drivers and apparently champagne for the winner.<\/p>\n<p>Event takes approximately 2.5 hours. I estimate each driver will get between 30-35mins of driving time in total.<\/p>\n<p><b>Cost: \u00a382 per person<\/b><br \/>\nThruxton are holding the booking for us (we have 1st refusal), but we need to cough up for the minimum 13 drivers asap to prevent loosing the slot.<\/p>\n<p>We will need payment in full before we commit and book the slot. Once we have booked, we are committed to paying for the minimum 13 drivers. For this reason, the event is open to CGTI members (paid\/non-paid) and \u2018friends invited by CGTI members\u2019. Note, the 15+ age limit will be enforced by the venue.<\/p>\n<p>Due to the nature of the booking, if you have paid and cannot attend, we are unable to refund your money unless we have more than the minimum 13 drivers attending.<br \/>\nWe will collect all payments in the usual way via payments(at)clubgti.com. Send it as a \u2018gift\u2019 and include the event and your screen name as a reference.<\/p>\n<p># Name\/Alias&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;Payment Finish Position Fastest Lap Average Lap<br \/>\n1 Keerat\/Rayhoop&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;..Paid<br \/>\n2 Gurds\/VW_Singh&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;Paid<br \/>\n3 Mandeep, c\/o Rayhoop&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.Paid<br \/>\n4 Anup Bansal c\/o vw_singh&#8230;.
