Hire Series – The Bayford 50
Throughout the summer months, there are two options for the monthly Thursday ‘Race Night’ evenings. The evenings feature a double header of a Championship Race for either individual drivers or teams of 2 drivers. The series is designed for all those enthusiastic drivers who would like to race on a regular basis. Championship points are allocated for both classes but one-off entries from experienced karters are always welcome. Each combined event includes a 15 minute practice and qualifying session and a 50 minute race.

These events are designed for individual drivers or teams of two. As championship points are allocated to each class (individual or team)it is not necessary for the individual drivers to make a pit-stop during the race. The summer championship will be decided by calculating the best 6 of 7 scores achieved.
