I thought it would be helpful to create a resource page that you can always come to for further information and advice on how to get started in karting, or grow your motorsports career. I’ll add to it as I learn more. I would recommend bookmarking it for your reference and convenience. Enjoy! Nile

 NatSKA http://www.natska.co.uk

NatSKA (The National Schools and Youth Group Karting Association) was formed over 40 years ago in the north east by a group of like-minded people intent on making motorsport accessible to schoolchildren. One of their primary objectives was to make kart racing as affordable to as many people as possible whilst maintaining a high level of competition. Kart racing in schools has existed since the late sixties. NatSKA is a nationwide association that holds race meetings throughout the country at major racetracks such as Blackbushe, Glan-y-Gors, Kimbolton, Rowrah, Rye House, Buckmore park and Whilton Mill. The association has 27 teams as far apart as Tyne and Wear through to Kent and Devon. All race meetings are run by NatSKA under the authority of the Motor Sports Association (MSA) who are responsible for all motor sport in the UK including British Touring Cars, Formula 3, Formula Renault and all motorcycle racing including the Moto GP British Grand Prix.
