The idea of these gearings is to offer a starting place for new teams. You will need to find exactly what suits your team.
Whilton Mill
Rotax 12 79-83
Pro kart 20 65-67
Biland 11T 70-72 13T /83
Awesome Track, Very fast and flowing with lots of run-off. We use the full circuit (miss out the middle twisty section) all season. Very fast start finish leading into a fast and sweeping left….then right up the hill to Christmas corner. Flowing corners coming back down the track till you get to the boot (Slowest part of the track) A left hander leading into a right….as you pass the pits on the last right hander before the start-finish. Very much a drivers track….one of my fav tracks after Buckmore park.
Daytona Lydd
Rotax 12 78-81
Pro kart 20 66-68
Biland 11T 71/72 13T / 84
Lydd is great! Back to running the way the track was intended. VERY VERY FAST! with a jump!!! at turn 4 before a sweeping turn 5 before you get onto the back straight. Gotta use the kerbs for a great lap time….but it will take it out of the kart if you do that every lap. We cut out corner 7 and go from corner 6 into corner 8 to give it a great back straight! Plenty of places to overtake.
Daytona Milton Keynes
Rotax 12 86-89
Pro kart 20 72-74
Biland 11 74-78
Twisty and technical track with some very fast corners chucked in, like the 1st left hander after the start finish line and turn 11 at the top of that long long back straight….Your kart is just on the limit of adhesion! Gearing is the key….You need to get out of the slow corners…..but you don’t want to rev like mad on the back straight.
Rye House
Rotax 12 86-88
1. Stadium Bend The fastest part of the circuit, a flat out right hander. The bravest drivers will only “lift off” two thirds into the turn, then
staight back on to induce a slight drift into position for Reg’s Elbow. 2. Reg’s Elbow Subject to precision positioning exiting Stadium, a fast left hand sweep accelerating through to the Infield Hairpin. 3. Infield Hairpin Approaching this left hander at “Full Chat”, maximum concentration is required to brake as late as possible, position the Kart and execute this turn smoothly. A good overtaking opportunity under braking. 4. Outfield Hairpin Accelerate out of Turn 3 setting your kart up into the Outfield Hairpin, smoothness through this right hander is essential to achieve
maximum speed approaching Pylon Bend. 5. Pylon Bend Kart positioning under late braking will determine how effectively Pylon Bend is executed. 6. Complex Nouvelle To drive this fast right hander correctly is determined by how well the kart is set up through Pylon Bend. A messy entry will result in low cornering speed 7. The Esses The racing line for the Esses is hugely dependent on approach and again in correct positioning through turns 5 and 6 can make this a very tricky corner. 8. Paddock Bend Accelerate out of the Esses and through Paddock Bend,onto the finish. 9. The Hamilton Straight “Aptly” named in 2009, with express permission from Lewis, this fastest part of Rye House Kart Raceway’s circuit… Smoothness and exit speed through Paddock will not only determineterminal speed into Stadium, but will offer an overtaking
opportunity down the straight. The “Rush” generated from driving this section properly is why Rye House is stilldeemed the Country’s finest racing circuit.
