BUKC EXPLAINED
KCL Motorsport Club takes part in the British University Karting Championship (BUKC), and after a long summer we are looking forward to another exciting year of racing. The season will start off with testing in October. Testing days allow new members to obtain their 'racing licence', this is an essential step as the BUKC will not allow any driver to race unless they have obtained their license (NO prior experience is required to participating in test days). Only a limited number of drivers can attend test days, so make sure to register your interest as soon as possible. You will also need to set up an alpha live account, and link the account to KCL. The link to do that can be found here: https://alphalive.alphatiming.co.uk/
Following test days, the drivers that obtained their racing licences will be part of the KCL Karting Team and will be participating in a tournament consisting of a qualifiers weekend and subsequent races in early 2026.
The calendar for this year is great, consisting of Buckmore park, Warden Law, Dunkeswell and Silverstone!!! With the qualifiers being held at the not so exiting Whilton Mill.
For any further information contact us either through email or by sending us a message on instagram. For more information regarding the BUKC check out their web-page http://www.bukc.co.uk.
