Kart racing in schools has existed for over 30 years. NatSKA is a nationwide association which holds race meetings run under strict regulations of the governing body (Motor Sports Association), throughout the country at many major race tracks including, Three Sisters – Wigan, Rowrah – Lake District, Rye House – Hertfordshire, Glan-y-Gors – North Wales.

Karting as a school or youth group activity covers a wide range of educational, academic, technological, social and sporting subjects. It provides a tremendous stimulus to all concerned.

NatSKA currently has 20 member teams and our national sprint championships (last held at Whilton Mill in 2006) frequently attracted over 190 kart entries. We have 9 different classes of karts, from four stroke up to 90 M.P.H. two stroke 100cc club racers. There is a class to suit all budgets and all levels of ability. Some karts are totally school built, whilst others can be bought commercially. Running costs are not high and NatSKA provides an excellent path for students wishing to enter motor sports and all other forms of automotive engineering. Students can join NatSKA at the age of 10 years, and can race to 31st August after they leave fulltime secondary education.

Joining is easy and only requires your school or youth group to become members of NatSKA. Copies of the regulations and full joining details are available, along with any further information you may require, by contacting Eva Porter via email: secretary@natska.co.uk

Now you do not have to sit at home watching the F1 on TV. You can be part of something just as exciting where you are really involved.
