The British Rental Kart Championship will take on a completely different format than previous years in 2014, going from a multi-round championship around the country, to a single karting festival taking place over three days at the recently re-opened Formula Fast Indoor Karting in Milton Keynes.
Now some purists may argue that this change is for the worse, but I for one am properly excited for the event, and I'm sure that Bradley Philpot and the guys at Formula Fast will put on a great event. For those drivers on a budget, and with seemingly more and more rental kart series starting up, the BRKC event promises to bring together some of Europe's top karters on an even footing over one weekend in January.
Entry is only £130, with a top prize of £1000 and free entry to the Karting World Championship event for the winners. Although I am under no illusions about how well I will do, to just be able to race against some of these guys at such a fantastic venue will be well worth the experience. Formula Fast is renowned for having great kart parity, with Brad Philpot himself often performing equalisation tests, and with all drivers weighted to minimum of 90kgs, we could yet see some surprise results. Whatever happens, there is sure to plenty of stories and experiences to share once the dust has settled at the end of the weekend.
The BRKC 2014 event will take place on 17th-19th January, if you would like further information please visit the following websites;

I'll be sure to update on my preparations for the event between now & then, in the meantime have a great Christmas and I'll catch you in the New Year :)
