Karts
Kart parity is our number one priority in the EKS - only tracks who maintain their karts to the highest of standards will be visited. The Daytona DMAX and Buckmore Sodi karts are some of the most well-maintained hire-karts in the country.
Each Daytona circuit conducts in-depth fleet tests at least once a month, and each engine is rebuilt at least once a year ensuring maximum kart parity. Combined with equal driver weight, this makes the EKS one of the fairest and most equal karting series in the country.
Birel N35X Rotax 125

Sodi RT10 GX390
The Sodi RT10 is Sodi’s top of the range 4-stroke hire-kart. Its highly-sophisticated EASY DRIVE® technology and top of the range Dunlop tyres give the kart precise handling, vastly superior to what its weight may suggest. Combined together with a 390cc engine which has a wide powerband and endless acceleration, these karts will lap Buckmore Park within 3 seconds of a thoroughbred Club100 kart.
Around Three SIsters they will average more than 45mph over the course of a lap of the Club Circuit and top 55mph on the Conrod Straight.
