I doubt it.

[callummarshall93]

what knda speeds are you getting?? we havent taken it very seriously untilll this year though

[catterlineCarties]

top speed seen was just under 60mph

[catterlineCarties]

Speed builds up really quickly in the section up to the first hairpin, and then drops off again on the long flat section. You meed to carry enough speed around the hairpin to get to the end of the flats. The entry to the second hairpin is very slow, but you get spat out the other side at about 30mph as you head towards the fastest part of the course. A series of fast S bends takes you to the finish line.

Hi

I'm interested in starting to race.

To enter the race in july, do you simply just have to turn up wiht your cart and enter on the day?

Is there any safety rules, like wear a helmet etc.

thanks
