2026 Pro70 Championship

This is the year!

For the first time since 2012 we are running a championship!

Open to drivers 16+ years old and over who meet the entry requirements, this is a 10 round series.

Listening to feedback over the years, this will be our very first weighted series.  The minimum driver weight is 55kg, and drivers under 70kg’s will have additional weight added to achieve the 70kg minimum.  Drivers over 70kg will not require any additional weight.

Entry qualification will be drivers who have previously achieved at least a 56 second laptime on the current circuit layout.

One bonus championship point for the fastest lap of the event.

February R1

Round One – 2026 Pro70 Championship

What. A. Start!

The new weighted category really shook things up this month, completely changing the usual running order!

We saw some of the closest racing in recent memory, with lighter drivers having to adapt quickly to the added weight — and they rose to the challenge in style.

Unbelievably, for mid-February, this was only our second dry day of the year!

The cold air clearly helped, with the competitors absolutely smashing it — 8 drivers dipped into the 52-second lap times!

Old-school GP format returned this month, giving us:

8 heats

2 finals

It was fascinating to see the new order emerging in the heats… especially with some of the, erm… “heavier” drivers running much higher up the field than usual!

B FINAL RESULTS

Smooth sailing and rock-solid driving from everyone

3rd – Charlie W

2nd – John K

1st – Karl H

A FINAL – SPICY MODE ACTIVATED!

This one had everything!

Dan R went on an adventurous exploration of the track limits with his heavier-than-normal setup… and definitely found them

Max and Richie were locked in a fierce battle throughout. It looked like Darri might sweep through to pick up the pieces — but Max clawed it back on the very last corner!

A Final Results:

3rd – Max S

2nd – Tristan M

1st – Richie R

Fastest Lap of the Event

Tristan M snatched the extra championship point with a blistering 52.787, beating Richie by just 0.004 seconds!

See you all next month for Round 2!

March R2

PRO70 CHAMPIONSHIP RESULTS! 🏎️🏁
It was all going so well… 👌🤣🤣
Halfway through practice…
🌧🌧 THE HEAVENS OPENED!
Rain came down and the grip disappeared 🌧💦
So for once… the fastest lap of the event was actually set in PRACTICE 👀
⚡ DLW – 53.557 sec
Even though that one shower was the only rain of the event, the track stayed wet, greasy for the rest of the race 😅
💥 Super sideways action commenced!
Massive kudos to all the drivers 👏 — despite the conditions we saw a super clean race from everyone 🙌
🔥 NOTABLE MENTIONS THIS MONTH
🏎 Dan M – a sneaky dark horse who’s been doing remarkably well on recent visits 👀
😂 Al32 – so much extreme head lean in the corners the photographer had to go extra wide just to fit his head and the kart in the same frame!
🌧 Ivan – has officially realised he needs to work on his wet racing skills! 🤣
🏁 B FINAL RESULTS
🥉 3rd – Chris S
🥈 2nd – Alan G
🥇 1st – Derren G
🏁 A FINAL RESULTS
🥉 3rd – Darri S

Round 3

    🔥 APRIL PRO70 CHAMPIONSHIP RESULTS! 🏎️🏁
    We went LONG this month… 🤣
    Those heats were looking a bit too comfortable 👀
    So we thought… why not mix it up? 😏
    👉 FULL FIELD F1 EXTREME RACE 🔥
    ⏱ 1 HOUR
    🏎️ 20 DRIVERS
    💥 NON-STOP ACTION
    Once everyone settled in…
    The racing went to another level 💨
    👏 Clean driving
    🔥 Battles everywhere
    🏁 Proper endurance racing
    ⚔️ BATTLE OF THE DAY
    Had to be:
    🔥 Tris vs Matt vs Dan R vs Richie
    Lap after lap…
    Bumper to bumper…
    Position swaps…
    Hard racing — but super clean 👏
    Honestly… one of the best battles we’ve seen in a long time 😮‍🔥
    😂 MOMENT OF THE DAY
    Unlucky Chris S…
    💥 Puncture mid-race
    (we’ll call it “exploring track limits” 🤣)
    📸 Photographer:
    “You can’t park there mate” 😂😂
    👀 SPECIAL MENTION
    🇷🇺 “Moscow Rob”
    Out of retirement…
    First open race in a DECADE…
    …and straight back into the action 💪🔥
    👏 Massive shoutout to ALL drivers — what an event!
    🏆 FINAL RESULTS
    🥉 3rd – Tris M
    🥈 2nd – Richie R
    🥇 1st – Chris N
    🚀 DOMINANT DRIVE
    Chris N was on another level…
    Pulled away early…
    Avoided the chaos…
    And built a huge lead (almost a lap!) 😳
    ⏱ Fastest lap bonus too —
    👉 ONLY driver into the 52’s! 🔥
    🏁 Thank you all again —
    See you next month! 👊

    Round 4

    🌧🌧🌧 BIBLICAL. 🌧🌧🌧
    The ONLY way to describe this month’s Pro70 Open Race – Round 4! 🏎️💦🤣
    Considering it was meant to be dry… 👀
    …and the Met Office (during a FULL torrential downpour 🌊😂) still claimed:
    ☁️ “Just a bit cloudy”
    …the radar told a VERY different story! 🌧📡🤣
    Almost to the SECOND the drivers sat down for Practice Heat 1…
    💧 Drip…
    💧 Drip…
    …and then the heavens ABSOLUTELY OPENED 😳🌧🌧🌧
    Not just rain…
    👉 TORRENTIAL rain 🌊
    👉 Standing water 💦
    👉 Full survival mode 🤣
    The kind of weather we haven’t seen at St Eval for a LONG time!
    By the end of Heat 2…
    🏊‍♂️ The legendary St Eval Swimming Pool™ had officially appeared 🤣🌊
    The track pumps had to work overtime for a 20-minute pause ⏱💪
    …removing THOUSANDS of litres of water every minute 💦💦💦
    But once things settled down…
    🏎️💨 HEAT 3 WAS ON!
    …and after that?
    Just “normal” rain apparently 🤣🌧
    One VERY fair point raised by the drivers:
    🤔 “Do we still need ballast weights…?”
    Because by this stage the race suits weighed about the same 😂😂
    🏁 THE RACING ITSELF…
    Absolutely EPIC 😮‍🔥
    💨 Drifting everywhere
    🌧 Zero grip
    🏎 Full commitment
    …and somehow…
    👏 SUPER clean racing all round!
    Only one proper moment:
    💥 Derren had a closer-than-planned meeting with karts 1, 2 & 3…
    🌿 followed by a small amount of hedge 🤣
    DLW immediately put his hands up for that one 😂🙋‍♂️
    But honestly — everyone drove brilliantly in seriously difficult conditions 👏🔥
    🏆 FINAL RESULTS
    🅱️ B FINAL
    🥉 3rd – Jack H
    🥈 2nd – Derren G
    🥇 1st – James H
    🤣 The Hawkins mob only needed ONE more family member to fully lock out the podium!
    🅰️ A FINAL
    🥉 3rd – Tris M
    🥈 2nd – DLW
    🥇 1st – Chris N
    ⭐ NOTABLE MENTIONS
    🔥 Samuel E
    Made the jump from the Rookie races and immediately realised just how savage the Pro70 pace is 😅💨
    🌧 Beth T
    Unluckiest driver of the day — her kart became affected by the water in the Final, dropping her back 😭💦
    🏆 Chris N
    2 races.
    2 wins.
    We might need a calculator to work out how quickly he’s climbing the standings 👀📈🔥
    👏 Massive thanks to EVERYONE as always!
    Hopefully the race was as much fun to drive…
    as it was for us to watch 😅🌧🏎️🔥
    See you all again next month! 👊🏁

    Round 5

    ☀️🏎️ JUNE PRO70 CHAMPIONSHIP RESULTS! 🏁🔥
    THE SUN CAME BACK! 😎☀️
    After what feels like months of racing through every weather condition imaginable 🌧🌪️🤣, we finally got a wall-to-wall sunshine Pro70 race! ☀️🏎️💨
    And what a race it was! 🔥
    This month there was NO dominant driver in the heats 👀
    ⚡ Fastest lap points were shared around
    ⚡ Multiple drivers topped their heats
    ⚡ Standings were changing all day long
    Meaning nobody could relax for a second 😅🏁
    ⭐ NOTABLE MENTIONS
    🔥 Tris M
    Another super solid performance, always right at the sharp end of the field 👏
    ⚡ Ivan
    A fantastic race day! Fastest lap in his heat AND fastest lap of the entire event 💨🏎️🔥
    🏆 Chris N
    Still at the front as usual… but this month had to work a little harder for it 😅💪
    🎨 Beth T
    Debuted a brand-new helmet! 👀
    Surely the extra speed came from the new lid… right? 🤣🏎️
    🅱️ B FINAL RESULTS
    🥉 Beth T – Great race and a well-earned podium 👏
    🥈 Harry F – Charged through the field into 2nd 💨🔥
    🥇 Jack H – Pulled away from everyone and absolutely smashed 1st place! 🏆🏎️
    🅰️ A FINAL RESULTS
    🥉 Dan R – Stunning recovery after an early low-scoring heat 💪🔥
    🥈 @Ivanracer – Rounded off an incredible day where everything seemed to click 👏⚡
    🥇 Chris N – Continued his recent form and took another victory, but definitely had to earn this one! 🏆🏎️🔥
    👏 Massive thanks to everyone who raced — another brilliant day of close, competitive and super clean racing!
    👀 And next month… we’re mixing it up again!
    🏁 F1 FORMAT RETURNS 🏁
    ⏱️ 10-minute qualifying
    🏎️ 50-minute race
    No hiding. No excuses. Just racing. 😈🔥
    See you all next month! 👊🏁☀️

    Round 6

    🏁🔥 July Pro70 Championship Results 🔥🏁
    What. A. Race. 😅☀️
    The race was long, the heat was brutal, and the driving… absolutely sublime! 👏🏎️💨
    This month’s championship used our F1 Extreme format – one full hour of uninterrupted racing! ⏱️
    Just a couple of months ago we were racing through biblical rain 🌧️… now we’ve gone completely the other way with a proper summer heatwave! ☀️🥵
    🌡️ 30°C air temperature
    🔥 Blistering track temperatures
    💦 Sweat levels… off the scale!
    The drivers arrived looking fresh, relaxed and ready to race… but by the chequered flag they were absolutely finished! 😅
    Hydration breaks were mentioned… but everyone manned (and womaned!) up and battled on to the end! 💪🤣
    Although… I don’t think anyone would have complained if we’d turned the bridge into a giant hosepipe shower halfway through! 🚿😂
    As always with the longer race formats, the field gradually spread into fantastic little battles all around the circuit, with close racing from front to back. 👌🏁
    🌟 Battle of the Day
    The standout duel simply has to go to Tris & Chris. 👏
    They traded places countless times through the first half of the race, neither driver willing to give an inch. Eventually Chris managed to edge away, but only after one of the best wheel-to-wheel battles we’ve seen this season.
    When asked after the race, Tris hinted there may have been a little championship strategy involved… 🤔
    With only a handful of rounds remaining, every point is becoming increasingly important… 👀🏆
    ⏱️ Qualifying
    🥇 Tris M

    See you all back on the grid in September! 👊🏎️🔥
