Tyre Requirements
Competitors in the E Plate classes (except for 210, TKM Clubman, and Waterswift Restricted) must buy control slick tyres from the club. These need to be purchased at the same time as the entry fee, which is £150 for Shenington members and £170 for others. All competitors will have their slick tyres scanned to be barcoded.
Awards and Incentives
Some of the top drivers in IAME Waterswift Intermediate, Junior X30, and Senior X30 will receive free or reserve entry tickets for the IAME International World Finals, subject to the usual age requirements. Details to be finalized.
Historic and Classic Kart Displays
The club will put up two large marquees, one of which is dedicated to static displays of historic and classic karts, lovingly restored by their owners. Around 100 of these karts are expected to participate, with entries made on the BHKC Alpha system.
Social Events
The social side of the SuperPrix is very important:
- Friday Evening: Pizza night.
- Saturday Evening: Hog roast with salad, music, and entertainment. All competitors receive a free ticket for the hog roast.
- There will be a bar on both Friday and Saturday evenings.
