About the event
9am to 5pm, Tuesday 18 June 2024
The North London Karting would like to welcome you to 2 Rounds of the 2024 London Karting Championship.
The Event is open to all Boundless and CSSC Members and their families and guests irrespective of whether they are also taking part in the Championship. All levels of experience are catered for so whether you are a beginner or a seasoned veteran you will find a challenge out there on the track.
Please come and enjoy the morning and afternoon racing, meet new friends, and have a good time. The Anglia Karting Centre is based at North Pickenham which is on the outskirts of Swaffham in the heart of Norfolk. The circuit has two outdoor racetracks, one of 675 meter and the other of 400 meters. These tracks when combined make a 1030-meter circuit which is what we normally race on. Originally the site was part of the RAF North Pickenham station which was constructed for the US Air Force and was opened in 1944. After the Station closed it was sold in 1965 and since then it has been an activity camp for the scouts before it was made into a karting track. It has since been developed making the track more complex allowing a variety of layouts up to the full 1030-meter track.
Event Summary

Event Reception
Drivers need to arrive by 09.00 pm and on arrival all Drivers should report to the Event Organiser.
Drivers will then be directed to 'Signing On' where they will 'be kitted out (free of charge) with racing overalls, a helmet, and gloves (you may bring your own if you wish but they must be approved by the Circuit).
Please wear comfortable and suitable clothing for the weather. Don’t wear anything that would upset you if it became damaged or mucky, simple jeans and a T-shirt would be fine. If you do not have proper racing shoes, then trainers are the next best thing and remember you will not be allowed to race in any footwear with open toes or heels.
Following reception, it’s off for a full Safety Briefing which all Drivers must attend.
Event Format: A series of Morning and afternoon sprints.
After the safety briefing Drivers may be split into two Groups depending on numbers for a 5-minute Practice/Qualifying session each. After the qualifying sessions each group will have 3 x 10-minute heats which will determine which final race they will be in. Each group will then have a 20-minute final race giving each driver a total circuit time of 55 Minutes driving in the morning session which includes a round of the Championship. The afternoon will follow a similar pattern.
Trophies will be provided for the top three drivers in each of the 2 Championship rounds Championship points will be awarded for individual positions on both Rounds.
