What We Do
We run fun and friendly motorsport events which welcome motoring enthusiasts of all experience levels. All the equipment you need for a great day out on track will be provided and there will always be a friendly face on hand to offer you the support you need to get started.
The club takes part in a range of different motorsport disciplines. From previous years we have expanded from just Go-Karting to the likes of electric dirtbike racing at IMotoX and simulator racing events at VR Sims. We are always on the lookout for more motorsport events to involve ourselves in, so if you have an idea then please do not hesitate to let us know!
