Association of Racing Kart School

Drivers from 6 years of age will have the chance to race at approved circuits, specifically licensed for Bambino racing, from 1st January 2021 if they purchase the Go Karting starter pack and take and satisfactorily complete the ARKS Novice Driver Test.  Drivers will then apply for the Kart Interclub (Bambino) licence, see Blue Book U1.7.1. Race regulations must state that the format will be for timed qualifying and standing starts, to set the grids for the heats.  Kart Teams are specifically prohibited from involved in any Motorsport UK Bambino event, whether Time Trial or Racing.It is still possible to obtain a Kart Clubman (Bambino) licence for Bambino Time Trials, follow the training schedule (see Bambino Kart Training and Event Guidelines (motorsportuk.org)   ) and enclosing the signed off Bambino Record card in with the licence application form (downloaded from the www.motorsportuk.org website).Please note the training video that is included in the Pack is now available on the Video page of this website.  This helps new drivers to learn what is required for the test. A training record card and details of the training are on the Resources section of the MotorsportUK website or as below.  Note that a Bambino driver must have taken the full test and bought the Pack to upgrade to a Cadet licence.A driver in the year of their 8th birthday who has satisfactorily completed at least 3 Motorsport UK Bambino races (not time trial) may move in to the cadet category if they are at least 125cm in height.Alternatively if they have signatures from at least three time trials and have passed the ARKS test a driver can apply to move to Cadets in the year of their 8th birthday.  The licence application must be endorsed and submitted by a recognised kart club and any licence would be restricted to a single venue until the driver has either reached their 8th birthday or been specifically observed by the Motorsport UK Steward at a minimum of three Interclub Kart races (U.15.1.1.1).To complement the MotorsportUK Start Karting pack ARKS provide some useful guidance notes, which novices are encouraged to download and read thoroughly, these are:
