The University of Leicester Motorsport and Karting Society is a group for those who love the world of racing. Whether you race cars, bikes, karts, sim-race, or just love watching the sport, this is the society for you. We are an inclusive and friendly society whose main goal is for its members to have fun.
We hold several social kart races throughout the year where we race at Sutton Circuit in Leicester. This is a competitive and friendly environment where racers of all abilities are welcome. The social championship generally consists of about 6 rounds throughout the year. Who will be crowned champion this year?
Our main competition is the British Universities Karting Championship which has several different experience-based competitions, so whether you’re a complete novice or a seasoned Kart racer, you can get behind the wheel. The karts used in the BUKC are the best arrive and drive karts in the UK. Capable of accelerating from 5-60 in 4.5 seconds and reaching a top speed of 70mph, you will not forget your first time in a 2-stroke kart. Teams consist of 4 drivers. Last year we had 2 karts, one finishing in P36 and the other in P77. We hope to put more teams out this year, please let us know if you are interested.
If you aren't into racing but love cars you can join us for a variety of other social events including F1 pub watching and going to professional racing events. Through our sponsorship with the Stonegate group, you will get a discount like no other offered on both selected food and drink items.
Through our light-hearted ethos and our togetherness as a society, we hope to achieve great things in the upcoming season and we look forward to meeting you!
Feel free to contact us through either our Facebook or Instagram.
