SG Petch are pleased to announce the continued sponsorship of this years Open Karting Championship following the great success in 2011.
The series is currently the North of England’s leading hire kart championship and provides highly competitive, exciting races in equally matched karts, allowing driver skill to determine race position rather than mechanical tweaks. The series will use Teesside Karting’s fleet of fully race prepared twin engine pro-karts, which are recognised as the best prepared and maintained hire karts in the United Kingdom. This championship promises to offer competitive racing at low costs.
The 2012 championship will consist of 10 rounds, with the best 8 rounds counting towards the final championship standings. The confirmed dates and circuits are as follows (some of the finalised dates are different from the provisional calendar in order not to clash with the NKA Elite League):

As in 2011, SG Petch Abarth will be providing a great prize to the Championship winner. We will also be offering the chance for all drivers who compete in the first 7 rounds of the championship to enter a prize draw to form a team to enter the British 24 hour race at Teesside on 25/26 August 2012, courtesy of Teesside Karting. The first 6 qualifying drivers names out of the hat will form the Scuderia SG Petch Abarth entry. This prize was a huge success last year and this year’s event promises to be a great race also.
