British Schools Karting Championship
- British Schools Karting Championship
The British Schools Karting Championship was set up in early 2007 as a means to promote karting to teenage school children in the UK. The main principle of the championship is to enable as many young people as possible to enjoy karting without having to spend thousands of pounds buying and maintaining karts. The championship achieves this by providing all the karts for the young drivers to race on in what is known as 'arrive-and-drive' kart racing. This reduces the cost of competing in a sport that otherwise expensive and inacessible. In this sense the championship differs significantly from the National Schools Karting Association (NatSKA) because schools competing in NatSKA are required to purchase and maintain their karts in order to race them.
The 2007 championship was held indoors at Streatham Kart Raceway, Southwest London and was won by Bacon's City Technology College, Rotherhithe. In 2008 the championship will be hosted across several other major cities in the UK opening up a national karting series to thousands of young students.
