About Shenington Kart Racing Club
Shenington Kart Racing Club, based at Shenington Airfield in Edgehill near Banbury, Oxfordshire, has been a cornerstone of British karting since February 1960. The circuit at the historic Edgehill Airfield is renowned for its fast-flowing layout and demanding heavy braking zones, with two configurations for different kart classes: a 1018 metre direct drive length and a 1211 metre gearbox length, running clockwise with nine marshal posts. The club runs ten championship rounds across the season with professional multi-camera live streaming on YouTube delivered by broadcasting partner Alpha Live. Affiliated to MotorsportUK and the ABKC, the club welcomes drivers of all ages and abilities, from first arrive-and-drive sessions to competing in official championship rounds. The dedicated volunteer committee includes Club Chair Lesley Allen, Club Secretary Graham Smith, Competition Secretary Sonja Game, and Chief Marshal Jordan Montgomery. Shenington village is out of bounds as a route to the circuit, as the club works to preserve good relations with its village neighbours.
