Kart racing in Bloemfontein

                                                   F400 round 4 & Prokarts.

Some of the newer teams this year are looking incredibly fast, watch out Rogue Racing!

What a fantastic weekend! What a great way to spend time with the family! F400 round 4 (joined by Prokarts) at Bloemfontin M& F Raceway was amazing fun. I've never felt such camaraderie, even on the journey down.

Drivers briefing

Bloemfontein was by far my most enjoyable race yet. I know quite a few teams would disagree with me, but believe me, for a spectator, this track provided entertainment.

Qualifying

M & F Raceway is situated in Kelly's View Bloemfontein. It has been there over 15 years but sadly is not very well known by the locals. The new owner Kevin hope to change this and we hope this terrific track will soon be enjoyed by all of Bloemfontein and surrounds.

fast corners

The track is hard on karts and many teams felt its bite with karts dropping like flies. From motors blowing to nose cones coming off mid race, it was a thrill a minute. The races were fast and the corners slippery, a recipe for great entertainment, sadly not so much for the teams.

Prokart team "Mercedes" literally ended up racing held together by duct tape and preyers. Which is not surprising after one of their team members lost her brakes coming into the pits and crashed into a tree stump, Narrowly missing a brand new Land Rover Evogue parked nearby.

The C.O.C and the G-String

The weather was fantastic, clear skies and quite warm in the sun.We even had men parading round in underwear after Metson Racing driver Jeff challenged the C.O.C Robert that he either gives up his black and white flag (used for bad driving/penalties) or wore a g string. The C.O.C in turn challenged Jeff to wear a bra. Both men complied in good spirits and gave the rest of the teams a good laugh.

 So all in all a great weekend. To all the teams that had such bad luck, I hope you are ready in time for the next round at Kylami and that you'll have a better race day then.

Kyalami adventure

Karts in the pits at Kyalami Kart Circuit

So its coming up to my birthday and I been thinking about where to have it. A place where all my friends and family can have fun. Where else but Kyalami Kart Circuit?

Getting ready to race at Kyalami Karting Circuit

I actually had one of my birthdays there a few years back, and fell in love with the place then. And even today I can't think of a better venue. They have so much to offer and lets face it, they are just Cool.

Racing at Kyalami Kart Circuit

Where else can you race karts, have a  conference , do team building, host your birthday, stag night, bachelorettes....pretty much any kind of gathering whether work or fun AND at such a cool venue!

Bored on a weekend? Why not pop down there for a few laps with their "arrive and drive" option.





Karting is the closest the average person will ever get to F1. The karts may not be going as fast as F1 cars, but when you're that close to the ground it sure feels like it.

Kyalami Kart Circuit was designed for professional kart racing so the track is fantastic with sharp turns to keep you thinking and great straights to keep your adrenalin pumping. Its design was inspired by the main track and you can't help but pretend you are one of the greats, racing along at Kyalami.

Kart Cafe is the Circuits own Restaurant and Bar (please note, no drinking allowed while you're karting) with a great menu, and fantastic view over the kart track as well as part of the main track.
