Most of top teams/ drivers attended, coming directly from the EK RIZLA ASSEN meeting the weekend before. The INTERNATIONAL SUPERKART SERIE and the circuit were looking to reach the sound level of 92 dB, measured by their own measuring system. After two days tests we gained much experience and after talks with the circuit, the sound level was set at 94 dB. This was acceptable for the circuit and feasible for all drivers. As a result of the midweek tests, no teams/drivers were excluded from the training or races on 13th – 15th August. It is not possible to give measurements or describe every change per kart because there were 5 to 10 karts on the track the whole time. http://www.superkart.org.uk/news.htm F0AC69D6-2216-4016-ADDC-092E54454B7A Sun, 15 August 2010 21:00:00 +0000 Gavin Bennett won race 1 in style but dropped out of race 2.

It is the intention of the organisers to invite several past GP winners to the event. We know Carolynn Hoy and Martin Hines are interested in taking to the circuit in the early Hermetite Zip Teams Superkarts. It would be nice to see all the past winners at this years GP http://www.superkart.org.uk/news.htm 97874F31-2D68-44C8-B8D5-CA31E9656D64 Sun, 14 Feb 2010 12:01:16 +0000 We can now also launch our early payment scheme for 2010. Under this scheme we can offer a good reduction in the cost in return for entering four or six events up front. We are always very appreciative of the guys who support this initiative because paying up front in such a manner provides the club with much needed working capital at this time of the year when we have to pay major amounts of money on deposits for circuit hire such as Cadwell Park (BGP) and Silverstone Stowe. We naturally hope that the reduction in entry fees is attractive enough for the drivers to take us up on our offer. It is going to be a difficult year again this year for all of us so we have tried to keep the fees as low as we can. Ideally we would have liked to charge more so we can put the club on a stronger financial footing. Long Circuit racing is an expensive affair. We are for this year offering a two tier structure because it very difficlut for the 125 club members to fit in six club events, so you can opt for a package which includes five events + the BGP or three events + the BGP http://www.superkart.org.uk/news.htm F0AC69D6-2216-4016-ADDC-092E54454B7A Sun, 14 Feb 2010 12:08:07 +0000
