WHILTON MILL EXCLUSIVE TKM TEST DAY
OFFERS NEW DRIVERS UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY

Formula TKM has teamed up with Whilton Mill to host a special test day at the Northamptonshire circuit catering exclusively for drivers of TKM 2-stroke class karts and those looking to move up into the class from Cadets and other classes.
 
The event will take place on Friday July 26 – the first day of the school holidays for many - making it a great way to kick off the summer break. It will include support from Tal-Ko, organisers of the TKM classes, as well as other top TKM class trade teams and manufacturers.
 
No MSA licence is required to take part in the test day which will provide a unique opportunity for drivers to hone their skills, test equipment, and for potential newcomers, to try a TKM kart for the first time.
 
TKM boss Alan Turney explains: “We have so many new drivers coming into the class that we felt a special day like this would benefit everyone and provide great value testing.”
 
The day will run from 10am to 5pm on the Whilton Mill International circuit which has recently undergone a number of changes to barriers, run off areas and kerbing as part of a program of improvements at the track.
 
Normally a full day’s testing at the track costs £50 per kart but for this event it will be just £30. Sessions will be split into Juniors, Seniors and newcomers allowing for all experience levels. Newcomers sampling a kart will pay just £10.
 
With Whilton Mill hosting the last round of the TKM Club Championship it will provide an important opportunity to test before that double header race meeting in September.
 
Whilton Mill manager Graeme Smith explained: “We are very keen to rebuild our TKM grids and wanted a way to give all TKM drivers the best opportunity to sample and learn the circuit. We are confident the day will be well received and the attendance levels healthy.”
 
Aside from allowing existing TKM drivers test time, special efforts are being made to help potential new drivers to the TKM classes whether currently in Cadets or any other class. Says Alan Turney: “This is the perfect chance for new drivers to try out TKM karting. So long as they have full safety equipment and at least some karting experience we will get them out in a kart.”
 
Further details of traders taking part and more detailed information will be made over the next few weeks. In the meantime any driver interested in taking part should email testday@tkmdriversclub.com to apply for an entry sheet.
