Following three months of qualifying, the British Indoor Karting Championship (BIKC) will hold its National Finals from 9-10 November at TeamSport Karting in Warrington this weekend.

Karters from around the country had the opportunity to set a qualifying lap at 35 TeamSport venues UK-wide from 1 June until 31 August, with the quickest invited to compete in the finale this weekend.

This year, finalists will take on the one-kilometre track using a standing start.
