Club 100 general chat

Hi guys,

I'm about to pop my racing cherry and enter the Club 100 60-Minute race in September. I've just taken delivery of my seat liner from Tillett Racing Seats and was wondering if any of you had any advice as to how to add ballast to it?

Given I'm relatively small, I'm going to need to add about 10-15 kgs of ballast to the seat (the seat liner is sized MS). I gather the preferred material is roofing lead which comes in rolls.

Where is best to add the ballast - is it he back of the liner, the sides or both, and how 'much' can I add (in terms of depth of sheets) before fitting it into the seat on the kart becomes an issue? And how does the foam that Tillet provided with the liner come into play?

Does anyone have any photos of their ballasted liner they can share to illustrate?

Cheers in advance
