We’re excited to announce Monday 22nd October for our ever popular Junior Driver Development class.

Enabling junior racers, 8-15 years old, the opportunity to take the next step into the amazing world of motorsport!

Read on to see how this special event unfolds for just £39.99

Starting with a drivers safety briefing approximately 30 minutes after sign in & kitting up, all participants will receive a briefing on event format, top tips, practice, qualifying, heats & finals!!

The idea behind the Development Session is to offer “an insight” for junior drivers that wish to take a more competitive stance to racing the opportunity to do so against their peers. Having run quite a few Development Sessions now, the feedback has been ultra successful and they have grown in popularity!!

These sessions are great fun and enable your children to compete in a friendly environment at Rye House rather than just the arrive and drive or Birthday sessions.

Albeit just an insight, our dedicated driver’s club coaches instruct all the young racers on format, racing lines & most importantly; safety rules! The session lasts approximately 3.5 hours from arrival to departure & includes all the equipment.

This really is an excellent day out for just £39.99 per head!!

Labelled “the Silverstone of karting” by none other than Lewis Hamilton & David Coulthard, Rye House in Hertfordshire boasts heritage, history & a big heart.

As one of the UK’s oldest race circuits, dating back to the 1950’s, the track still hosts a variety of race events from owner driver test, race and Club event days as well as a huge amount of hire karting business that has really elevated Rye House to its now “premier venue” status.

“Whilst corporate & hire karting with slick hospitality is the mainstay of our income, our true passion is racing!  We believe that our race heritage and knowledge, complimented by the great facilities that we now boast, really sets us apart from other hire venues. We are in a privileged position that allows us to offer packages for much younger drivers, in smaller (thus much more focused) groups. Rye House is famed for the drivers it has produced in the past and continues to work hard to develop the Stars of tomorrow”

With the first, 5 week, course commencing in June, the K1 STARS series will feature a fleet of race spec Comer C50 Bambino karts developed by karting guru; Nick Jest & BTCC champion; Ashley Sutton. These will be the very best karts available in Europe.

“As grass roots racing, K1 Stars is designed to enable children the opportunity to start karting with a transparent budget for Mum & Dad. The arrive & drive scheme allows little “STARS” to dress like real racing drivers, drive a real race kart & eventually participate in a real race meeting! So many children fall in love with driving after a hire session but historically, parents have struggled to find clear information on how to pursue entering the sport, we have created “the next step”.

Full details of the course dates and their structure can be found on the website K1stars.com.

The cost of joining the 5 week course is £499 and once joined, parents will be invited along to a short seminar to give us an opportunity to get to know you and your child, before the course gets underway….

“Do we think we will produce accomplished racing drivers within a 5-week K1 training course? Unlikely, but we will have taught the children the fundamentals of driving in a safe and friendly environment, whilst having lots of fun – a fantastic platform to build on!”

After the “STARS” complete their 5 week course, they should become certified drivers and be eligible to enter the Rye House monthly IKR Championship, with or without their own kart. A real race meeting! The IKR Championship will have its own class, just for K1 Stars, properly regulated to ensure evenness and fully overseen by our representatives.

Once certified you can hire a race “prepped” kart to enter a race. £299 per meeting covers the cost of the machine, racewear, full mechanical support and Race Day Hospitality for your team (Mum and Dad!).

Should drivers wish to purchase their own “brand new” machines, they will be given a £499 discount (as “certified” K1 Stars drivers) and can enter a race for £149 with all the benefits above.

The Rye House Drivers Club

We understand that racing is not always perceived as an easy sport to pioneer… Well actually folks, we make it dead simple… With seven successful years in the making, our Hire Kart Championships have developed into a product and service which we believe is the most affordable form of motor sport, but more importantly; life changing!

The concept is simple; Combine a season of arrive & drive racing on a monthly basis, behind the wheel of the fastest karts in the industry, on a track that is regarded as the greatest test of driver skill! High speeds, hard braking and fast cornering on the 1km outdoor racetrack in variant weather conditions is just the beginning! Racing our custom fleet of Honda 5.5 BHP de-governed “Champ Karts”, this special fleet have been purpose built to race spec, with better handling and more power; and will only be used by RHDC drivers. In short, these karts will really enable you to up the pace out on the circuit!
