Round 2 of the Castle Combe Junior Karting Championship took place on Sunday and it was the first fully dry event on the new karts! So naturally the lap record was broken and set at a 25.20 by Matthew Starke.
We are really excited to announce that our super new karts have landed at Drive-Tech Go Karting at Castle Combe Circuit!
A prototype of our brand new, bespoke, high speed Go-Karts was tested last week for gearing on our outdoor track.
Drive-Tech at Castle Combe are pleased to announce they will soon be taking delivery of a brand new fleet of karts! Manufactured by 
As they entered the last lap Jacques had a comfortable lead, but Harry was still under severe pressure from Josiah, Josiah had a look up the inside into the top corner. There was a little bit of contact, Harry maintained the place but they both lost momentum, which brought Neo Mcbraida right into contention. He dived up the inside of Jos, there was contact and it caused Jos to spin. Neo backed off allowing Jos to carry on in front of him, but Alex Cameron came from nowhere to squeeze his way through into 3rd place, with Josiah rejoining right behind him.
We are sorry to announce that the Avon & Somerset Police Cadets Road Traffic Collision Demonstration planned for the 18 June at the Bath & West Showground has been cancelled and postponed indefinitely, possibly until April / May next year, hopefully still at the Bath & West Showground. This is due to South Western Ambulance Service and several of the cadet units being heavily committed elsewhere.

Seabourne was trying everything to find a way past Bayani, but Bayani was able to fend him off and take his 2nd win of the season. Dawson came through to take a brilliant 3rd place, with Jamie Higgins 4th. Stephen Islip took 5th, Archie Cousins 6th, Jeremy Woodward 7th and Ben Winter 8th.
There was then a 3 way battle for 3rd place with Jack Latus now defending from Alex Cameron who had worked his way into 4th. William Jeary was right behind, with Matthew Maitland falling a way a bit at the back.
The first of which was Alex Cameron, who drove brilliantly in all 4 of his heats to take 4 wins and with it line up on pole position for the final. Harry Sadler made it 5 finals from 5 to line up 2nd on the grid, with reigning champion Jacques Flanders 3rd. Matthew Baker lined up 4th, Neo Mcbraida 5th and Cameron Polledri 6th. The big surprise being Championship leader Josiah Lockett not making the final.
Matthew Baker got a slightly better start than Jacques Flanders and they headed into the first corner side by side, with Matthew’s nose just ahead. They rounded the corner with Matthew carrying a little more speed and was just able to slot his way into the lead. Jacques Flanders was immediately under pressure from Harry Sadler and had to go defensive which allowed Matthew to open up a gap. 
Bath Rugby are repeat visitors to Drive Tech and they recently booked in at short notice for a fabulous afternoon of karting on our outdoor go kart track.
The players had opted for an endurance race so established teams to compete in. The idea of the endurance race is simple; complete as many laps as possible in the allotted time of 2 hours. Of course, there are time penalties for dangerous driving and other karting offences which would see the offender sitting in the pits for a time period. Being highly competitive professional sportsmen, this is certainly not something they would have enjoyed.

Junior Go Kart Racing – Round 1 Spring Report
After all of the heats Jacques Flanders was unable to improve on his lowest score, which meant that it was all down to Matthew Baker who was still in contention having won all 4 of his heats and lined up on the front row of the grid for the final. But it was Josiah Lockett who qualified on pole position for the final, he had also won all 4 of his heats and was still chasing after 2nd in the Championship. Robin Hayman lined up 3rd on the grid, holding the all important Fastest Lap at this point. Martha Hopes made the final for the first time this year, to cement her victory in the Ladies Championship, lining up 4th on the grid. With the two best Novice drivers lining up 5th and 6th on the grid. Michael Saunders could still win the best novice championship, however he would need to win the final and set the fastest lap, much like Matthew Baker.
