Learn about Cyclekarts - putting the fun back into motor racing

Cyclekarts are relatively new in the UK, but have a big following global following, particularly in the USA.

They are scaled down racers, using around 200cc engines, based on designs of cars from the 1920s. Generally apart from the engine, wheels and some running gear, the rest is home built, so really is a 'kit' car. They usually take inspiration from a particular race car for the bodywork styling.

Races are held across the UK on both grass and tarmac, and includes a visit to the legendary Brooklands circuit. But the focus is on enjoyment, not necessarily winning.

Trevor caught up with a number of owners at the Newark Kit Car Festival where they were demonstrating their cars on a small circuit.
