These Girls Karting Academy sessions will enable girls to test themselves in TeamSports arrive and drive karts, offering them a progressive step into the sport. Participants will take part in fun activities, designed by Motorsport UK’s Academy coaches and experts in sports science, to test competence and skills both on and off the track.  

The first sessions take place in April in Bristol, Crawley, Cambuslang, Coventry, Mitcham, Leeds, Nottingham, Southampton, Manchester Trafford and Newcastle, with sessions to follow in May and October. 

Girls who demonstrate the right mindset and talent at assessments will subsequently be offered development sessions with TeamSport. Under Motorsport UK’s guidance, the sessions will nurture their talent and equip them with the skills and techniques needed to compete in junior levels of karting. 

The exciting initiative will enable drivers to progress their development, before being encouraged to participate in the British Indoor Kart Championship (BIKC). Girls who set a qualifying time at a regional TeamSport venue will have an opportunity to progress through Local, Regional and National Finals with a prize of a fully-funded place in the Club100 Karting Championship on offer.
