Tips for New Drivers

Dress for the weather. Clay Pigeon Raceway is outdoors so you'll want layers in winter and sun cream in summer. These karts are properly fast. Smooth inputs matter more than aggression here. Arrive at least 15 minutes before your session for the briefing and to get kitted out. They provide racewear, but bring your own gloves if you prefer. Closed-toe shoes are a must. Don't eat a massive meal right before racing. Trust us on this one.
