Kartmasters 2005

speedy king · 30 Dec 2004, 20:17 (Ref:1190076)

Anyone here entering? Or know the date and prices?

Am considering entering, either that or O Plate in Rotax Max

luke · 30 Dec 2004, 21:46 (Ref:1190150)

Unfortunately no. But is that what I have seen on Sky?

speedy king · 30 Dec 2004, 22:00 (Ref:1190163)

Most probably yes. P.F International, winner gets to race with the G.P plate for 12 months

Alex Hodgkinson · 30 Dec 2004, 22:45 (Ref:1190195)

Might do, but if I do I'll get strawberry to run me for the meeting in one of their karts.

Don't know the dates,

and prices I don't know any more, you're looking at something upward of £300 though.

speedy king · 30 Dec 2004, 23:02 (Ref:1190211)

Found the dates, its at the start of August, around the 6th i think it said on the TVKC site. I'm expecting the entry fee to be high as the Rotax event last year i think was something around £70 and then you need new slicks and all the normal things to be there or thereabouts on track + travel etc

Alex Hodgkinson · 30 Dec 2004, 23:20 (Ref:1190221)

don't they provide tyres and fuel for max runners then?

Mackmot · 31 Dec 2004, 00:46 (Ref:1190256)

Why Strawberry? They are just a big truck.

If you want a proper coach who will sort you out a great kart and get your driving like properly then you need Oggy or PC.

Alex Hodgkinson · 31 Dec 2004, 14:26 (Ref:1190568)

We do a lot of business with Strawberry, they're not very far away, plus they've done quite a bit of winning, so it sounds a good package to me.

Oggy as in Ogden? That's a good point actually because I'm more involved with him than anyone else..

speedy king · 31 Dec 2004, 18:34 (Ref:1190692)

I don't know all the details about the event but do you think they supply the tyres and fuel when you enter Alex?

What will you be racing in?

Alex Hodgkinson · 31 Dec 2004, 22:40 (Ref:1190789)

Libre, Max or ICA probably.

I dont remember exactly how the TVKM works, someone else'll fill you in on exactly what happens. The tyres you use are assigned to you by the club at the start of the meeting, and you'll have one spare front and one spare rear. That's it. The fuel is a controlled fuel, also distributed to you at the start of the meeting.

I think you pay the club for the fuel and a distributer for your tyres, eg Dartford Karting.

speedy king · 31 Dec 2004, 23:25 (Ref:1190804)

Ah that makes sense then.

Found some prices (not confirmed)
Controlled Fuel in 10 litre drums at £34.00
Entry fee £80.00 for Sat and Sunday
Friday testing available £30 or £35

Mackmot · 2 Jan 2005, 17:51 (Ref:1191721)

Yeah Oggy is Ogden, and if you ask me he is more proven as the best driver trainer out of all the karting guys out there. Although once you get to International level you really need to go to Mark Rose, Alan Mackay or Terry Fullerton.

hmmmm · 3 Jan 2005, 16:17 (Ref:1192249)

Those prices are right or near enough.

Alex after all that you have said basically slaging the the Rotax class off i carn't believe you are considering racing in it. All though it would be very good to race against you on even and fair basis.

If I remember rightly then they dont run ICA thats why they run Libre.

The tyres aren't supplied else the club would be loseing massive amounts of money. You take your own tyres and then they are marked and you use the same ones for all racing. You can only have spares if you have a puncture.

Alex Hodgkinson · 3 Jan 2005, 17:37 (Ref:1192281)

So don't they do the system they used to do any more. Ie. everyone pays the tyre supplier, then at the start of the meeting you get a set of tyres assigned to you via a random selection?

I don't know what 100cc classes they run at the kartmasters any more because I havn't been paying much attention to it. Yup I'm considering it despite all that I said. I still don't like the class, but it'd be the cheapest to run in and there'd be less chance of mechanical failure.

Ok Mackmot, I'll get my dad to get back in contact with Steve soon.

Will you be racing in Rotax?

Alex Hodgkinson · 4 Jan 2005, 14:00 (Ref:1192854)

I'm undecided

hmmmm · 5 Jan 2005, 21:52 (Ref:1194031)

If you mean me then yes if i can but depends on work.

speedy king · 6 Jan 2005, 15:48 (Ref:1194560)

Could be racing against each other then

Alex Hodgkinson · 6 Jan 2005, 19:12 (Ref:1194658)

I'll probably be in Libre now, seeing as some more European guys will be coming over.

Naaaaa · 6 Jan 2005, 22:17 (Ref:1194795)

Tom Horley · 8 Jan 2005, 16:04 (Ref:1195924)

He is at Pembrey this week testing F BMW for team SWR. Doing rather well I hear!

ukkartace · 2 Feb 2005, 13:40 (Ref:1215516)

wow cool!!! is there anywhere online you can check out testing times?

Mackmot · 2 Feb 2005, 17:54 (Ref:1215722)

Pembrey in a pre season test, there will be no times and you won't even be able to trust what the team or the drivers says even if its your best mate or a close relation. It all between the driver and the team.
