The Karting Pavilion, now in its second year, took the top award for “Best National Motorsport Stand 2013” at the Autosport International Racing Car Show in January which was presented to the organiser John Hoyle of JKH.
He said: “I am overwhelmed by this accolade, which is a tribute not only to our stand builder but to all the firms and associations which supported the concept and put on such splendid individual displays. Primarily we are trying to showcase the British karting industry and guide newcomers into this marvellous sport of kart racing.”

The ABkC Secretary Graham Smith said: “The Karting Pavilion has been an excellent platform for karting and enabled us to explain the various options for children of ages from 6 upwards. We also had a display of the new budget TKM Clubman class kart and with the massive foot fall at the show have undoubtedly brought more people into karting.” The ABkC, ARKS and BKIA were distributing their ‘How to Start Kart Racing’ brochure with an accompanying free DVD and promoting the Lets Go Karting scheme where for a small outlay a youngster can try out a racing kart at an outdoor circuit.
