Spare parts · Repairs
There will be spare parts available on the event days — our supplier, SWRD, will bring a fully stocked van. The location in the paddock of the spares van/area will be communicated ahead of the event days.
If you require additional support with mechanical tasks, an additional support team will be available, on a first come first served basis. The location of this team in the paddock will be communicated ahead of the event days.
Kart recovery
If a kart breaks down during a race session, our on track support team will do their best to recover the kart to a place from which it can be returned to the paddock, using one of the track support kart trolleys on offer — these must be returned to their original position as soon as possible.
