TKM SEASON OPENS WITH FULBECK SPRING CUP

Formula TKM kicks off its season of promoted events with the newly created Spring Cup at Fulbeck, perfectly timed to provide lots of testing for drivers in TKM and Honda Cadets prior to the first round of the British Kart Championships.

The Fulbeck organisers are giving full priority to the TKM and Honda Cadet drivers with high expectation of large grids which will also include a grid for TKM Clubman drivers taking part in the first round of the TKM Regional Clubman Championship.

Says TKM boss Alan Turney: “Fulbeck are putting in a large effort to make this a great start to the year and with the first British Championship round just three weeks away it is the perfect setting.”

The event will take place over the weekend of March 20-22 with Friday testing, more testing Saturday morning and then heats in the afternoon, followed by more heats and finals on Sunday. Cost for Friday testing is £40 paid on the day and for the two-day race event £115 which must be entered in advance.

There will be grids for TKM Junior, Senior and Clubman with no limits on numbers. There will also be grids for Honda Cadet, again with no restriction on numbers. Other classes will be invited subject to numbers.

Parking places on hard standing can be reserved at £25. Other spaces are available at nil cost. TKM will provide a full support service at the event and will be giving vouchers to the top three in each TKM event.

Says Fulbeck club director Jim Thornsby: “We are delighted to host this new event and really want to do everything we can to make it a great weekend for everyone. It will also give us an excellent opportunity to fine-tune arrangements for the first Motorsport UK championship round.

“More than that, we want to actively support and encourage a resurgence of TKM and Honda racing at Fulbeck through this special event and through the whole year since our dates do not clash with other well established TKM club venues.”

On line entry for the event is now open at https://fkc.alphatiming.co.uk/register/msa and will close one week before the event. Further details on booking spaces etc are available from Fulbeck at https://www.fulbeckkartclub.co.uk/
