I am looking on some advice on ways to get myself into karting.

Basically, I have only ever been out in rental karts but absolutely love the experience.

Me and my 2 brothers always seem to end up at the front of the few 'Pay £40/£50 grand prix format' that we occasionally pay for at our local tracks. We normally turn up and join in races involving between 15-20 people. Then again, there may be nothing in this as they may all be doing it for fun but it feels good

This led to me taking part in the Red Bull Kart Fight, a few months ago now, and I managed to get through to the Final Heat of the Regional Finals. I was pushed off the track in the final heat but I guess that's down to my inexperience.

Anyway, I love the idea of getting onto the track so any help/advice would be much appreciated!!

Cheers!!

I love motorsports (Karting isnt a loved form of sport for me however)
Have you tried looking at the MSA? (Motor Sports Association-the UK's governing body for motor sport!)
Heres a link to their "Getting Started-Karting" page

Ive used the site before to get into Volunteer Marshalling.....one day Id like to compete myself!
