Saturdays 11am – 12pm – 19th Oct, 26th Oct, 2nd Nov, 9th Nov & 16th Nov

Did you know Rye House now offer the ULTIMATE karting experience for children aged 5-8 years old.

K1 STARS was launched in June 2018 to enable children the opportunity to learn the art of racing on a ‘proper’ race spec kart on our main GP circuit!

Boasting top of the range equipment, our team of dedicated coaches carry out a unique 5 week training programme to ensure every child is a competent & certified ‘Star’!

Each lesson lasts approx. 2 hours from arrival to departure & includes ‘all the kit’; kart, race suit, crash helmet, gloves, neck brace, body armour & instructors. Whilst the lesson is running, Mum & Dad can relax with a coffee from our luxurious track side hospitality.

K1 Stars arrive & drive scheme is a premium service, there is NOTHING like this in the racing industry!

The spectrum of ability at such a young age is vast. However, we are confident that our training techniques and methods will build a strong foundation to kick start our members path into the world of motor sport!

How the course unfolds…

Week 1: The excitement of getting behind the wheel for the very first time can often become an overwhelming situation for anyone to deal with, especially at such a young age! The main focus on week 1 will be to ensure each driver is confident with the simple (but vital) elements of controlling the vehicle. Foot work and technique will be the primary focus to enable drivers to lap in a safe & controlled manner by themselves without the aid of his/her instructor.

Week 2: Having recapped what was learnt in week 1, it is important to understand the challenges of spatial awareness. The ability to steer around obstacles and stop within dedicated zones will educate drivers whilst keeping it fun and entertaining!!

Week 3: Drivers will be passenger to the coach in a side by side kart to demonstrate each drill at pace in order for Stars to imitate! The emphasis on accelerating to full speed but also hard braking will install confidence in the capabilities of the vehicle. Remember, the karts we’ll be using are geared up to compete!

Week 4: After a short but formative summary of what we’ve learnt so far, a group test session will commence. Coaches will be on hand to assist (by way of following) and advance each drivers capabilities! The team will also cover kart and track rules!

Week 5: Race Day!! The team will imitate a time trial race event for all K1 members! Light hearted and most of all FUN, each driver will be presented with a K1 awards presentation… We are all winners!!

To conclude the course, not only will our members be certificated novice drivers but the K1 team will continue to offer official test sessions (usually twice per week) to enable all K1 Stars the opportunity to advance their skills!

Anything else?: Of course there is… the fun never stops!!!

You can now book with a £199.00 deposit or pay in full by adding the “balance of K1 fees” from the extras drop down.

Please consider taking out our “damage” insurance (also available from the extras drop down).

Balance due 1 week prior to the course starting.

DON’T MISS OUT!!! THE BAMBINO FESTIVAL ON THE 10TH DECEMBER 2017

Ryan — Wed, 23 Aug 2017 11:07:02 +0000

As some of you may know from previous emails and social media… The Bambino Festival IS BACK for 2017!

The team at Rye have been working closely with Father Christmas to ensure we pull off an EVEN BIGGER, EVEN BETTER Bambino festival this year!!

A few little tweeks have been made to last years iterary to allow for the extra grid of IAME’s but on the whole, we believe it was such good fun, there is very little to change!

The link below allows you to book in to the biggest Bambino event in the UK which will be TELEVISED!!! So don’t miss out…

Rules, regs & lots more exciting news will be released in the next few weeks but for now, we ask that you book in & continue to spread the word amongst your karting network…… it’s going to be epic!!!!

BOOK HERE

IMPORTANT REMINDER!!

We are delighted to host the IKR Bmabino Festival 2017 and hope every one of you enjoys the day! With plenty of racing and events taking place on track, we’re pretty sure you will.

Whilst we appreciate some of the more experienced drivers are competing to win, it is of
paramount importance to us that every driver, regardless of position, ENJOYS THEMSELVES!!!

This race is intended to help introduce young drivers in to the sport and we expect each entrant and their associates to behave accordingly. This is an IKR race meeting and it is therefore the sole decision of the circuit and the Clerk of the Course to decide if you have raced in a sporting manner and the Clerk of the Course’s decision is final on all matters.

There is no right of appeal. Please be reminded, it is your sole responsibility to ensure that your kart is track worthy and safe, we do not expect any ungentlemanly behaviour with regard to kart “spec” and will not tolerate any “pit lane gibber” or other “banter” that could embarrass or upset our young drivers.

Good luck to everyone… LET’S GO RACING!!!

Register your interest for the Bambino Festival 2017

Ryan — Wed, 14 Jun 2017 10:12:08 +0000

IT’S COMING BACK FOR 2017!!!

With last year’s success of the Rye House Bambino Festival it would be pretty darn rude if we didn’t bring it back for 2017!!!

With plenty of track action for the 39 Bambino racers who attended… “has been the biggest race meeting for class witnessed in the UK this year” we’re hoping to smash the record for 2017!

Motors TV will be coming along again, fingers crossed Steve ‘Stiggy’ Evans will be bringing the new and improved ‘The Mighty’ to hoon around the track again and of course, Father Christmas will be racing the kids along the Hamilton Straight, all in the name of FUN!!!

It’ll run much like the 2016 Festival, only BETTER!!! with some fantastic added improvements, the team at Rye are confident that this dedicated televised event will be epic!! There’s plenty of ideas in the pot.. perhaps a grid of IAME’S, perhaps we’ll be gridding up & racing!!! But all this is still being finalised. For now, all we need to know is WHO’S INTERESTED??????

Price will be in the £140 per driver region and we’re sure you’ll have more fun this year, than last year!!! Likely to be around the 10th December and will be the LAST meeting on the calendar for 2017 (bhoooooom!!!)

The event will be run independently by the team at Rye and is open to drivers with or without a race licence. If you own a Comer or an IAME & you’d like us to keep you updated, simply register your interest below.
