Following last year’s rather inclement August weather, R5 will be trying an indoor venue for its annual karting event - Daytona Manchester at Wharfside Way, Trafford Park, Manchester M17 1NF. It is an excellent venue with great facilities, including electronic scoreboards to keep check on positions and lap times, and a good spectator viewing area overlooking the entire circuit (with a bar and café for refreshments). The circuit, whilst smaller than the outdoor ones, is well arranged and includes a bridge and underpass to make for some interesting overtaking moves!
R5 will adopt Daytona’s “Classic” type of event, which includes practice time, qualifying and a final (in two groups). The cost is £48 per person (including hire of overalls and helmets if required), and the evening will commence at 7pm and finish around 9pm
If interested please contact Dave Trafford at david.trafford1@ntlworld.com before 3rd September. A 50% deposit will be required, and spaces will be allocated on a first come first served basis.
