Wombwell Sprints
2024 Round 1 – Wombwell Sprints Sunday 24th March 2024
Wombwell is around 800m of beautifully smooth tarmac, mixing a variety of corners and three main straights. The circuit is for the most part, not massively wide, especially past the pit areas, so driving skill and traffic management is necessary.
There are 3 Sprint Races, run in both directions. Starting grid is based on championship position for race 1 and then finishing positions of previous race for the other races.
Sprint races are scored as per rule 2.4a. 1 point for each win, 2 points for 2nd place, 3 points for 3rd etc with lowest combined total at end of day wins. If there is a draw then refer to rule 2.4b

Entry Closes
28th February 2024*
* Now we are returning to normal post Covid we will be strictly enforcing the entry deadlines and after entry closes, you can still enter but it will be at the higher late fee and subject to capacity and organizers discretion
To enter please click the button below. This will take you to our online shop where you can either enter online and pay by one of several methods.
However if you prefer to send a postal entry the necessary forms in pdf or word doc formats are in the down load tab of the online entry in the shop
You will also need to submit a teamsheet at scrutineering on the day.
(Do not send this with your entry as it must accurately reflect your team, and will log any faults found on your car)
Further information
Motor vehicles are allowed onto the main kart circuit for unloading / loading only, subject to the usual walking pace speed restriction as at all races.
You must ensure you DO NOT DRAG anything across the tarmac – please ensure trailer legs are retracted and secured, nothing is hanging down and dragging from your car or van, you don’t drag heavy toolboxes around, etc.
You MUST NOT stray onto the model car circuit (the twisty sections on the infield) as this does not have foundations capable of supporting the weight of a road vehicle (including trailers).
On all counts, South Yorkshire Kart Club have very kindly permitted us to use their very nice and VERY EXPENSIVE tarmac and we must not damage it.
Generators in the pits are permitted provided you also supply suitable fire fighting equipment. There is no official noise restriction but please respect the fact this race is in a residential area on a Sunday, so it is only polite to keep noise to a minimum, especially in the early morning.
The car park is publicly accessible from the adjoining footpath so please ensure your vehicles are locked and don’t leave any valuables on display, just as you would in any public car park.
