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
