Driver notes

The best places to overtake at Shenington are hairpin 1 (out of cafe corner) and in the run down to hairpin 2.

These karts, are all about smoothness and momentum and planning - so you have to plan your overtakes carefully.

Kart review

GX-UK, run by Access Karting, is all about racing on a budget. The engine is a unrestricted 200cc 4-stroke Honda (used by everyone). Chassis-wise, you can choose what you wish, so long as it is older than 2018. Mine is a Rotax-based Chassis OTK Birel CRG. Tyres are Maxxis Sport slicks.

This set up is both highly competitive, highly accessible and great value for all.

Inside track

Shenington is a great track - super fast. Food van is nice… Decent shower facilities also.
