Testimonials
Motorsport of any kind can give exciting opportunities to motivate young people. Karting is one of the safest forms of motorsport and is accessible to all ages. It encourages youngsters to respect each other as it a thrilling, competitive non contact sport. There are also many other benefits that participation in any sport can bring, it just so happens that I feel karting is tops because it is very exciting but safe. A nationwide karting event as well organised as the BSKC must be supported by all who share the passion that young people will excel when an activity is fun, exciting and safe.

Our students gained enormously from taking part in the British Schools Karting Championships. Some of our more vulnerable and under-achieving students gained a much needed boost in confidence and commitment from taking part in these races. For most it was the first time they had ever been able to try karting and they are still talking about it now.

What was most pleasing was that one of these pupils was a very quiet year 9 boy who up to that point had not been involved in any activities outside of the classroom. Subsequently our success at qualifying for the South East Regional Final earned the team members a mention in whole school assembly and some notoriety around school! This had a very positive impact on the aforementioned boys self-confidence both in and out of the classroom.The competition that year was extremely well run and the fact that the boys had the opportunity to get the feel of the track in a practice session a week before the competition, proved very popular with the boys and to a certain extent gave it the feel of a professional qualifying session.
