King Of Kents
How many drivers are serious about entering the King Of Kent's? That is doing the 8 rounds at selected tracks plus the 3 stand alone races? Not just their own Championship plus the 3 races.

I'd wager not all that many. But I don't know. Haven't had too many media forms from people saying they're targetting KoK.

HOLY SH*T!! I am planning to do the NW and KOK championship this year, but had only thought we needed to do two extra races from another region. Will have to have a word with the sponsors, ie Dad, to see whether this is possible. Come to think of it, i best get off ten-tenths and get some bloody work done!
I defo need the WR job now Ian!! |

Of course you have a chance of getting to nw rounds. No passport needed, just turn left at J18 off the M6. The provisional regs I saw on the 8 Oct 2003 re the qualifying rounds and the published regs do not differ. It was always 11 rounds total. 8 scores from regions [no more than 3 per region] plus the 3 KoK stand alones. Having said that, I too seemed to have it in my head that it was 8 rounds total. God knows where that came from, but a few people obviously think the same. |

I recall there being a little bit of ambiguity in the regs, but settled on the 3+3+2+3 route in the end. Maybe it would be better with just eight races in total. In any case, this is a learning year and I am sure the regs will change next year if there is demand.
Still no news on the job Steve? Last edited by Ian Sowman; 16 Mar 2004 at 21:36. |

No, not yet Ian. They were meant to let me know today either way but haven't. Getting a bit peed off now. Hopefully no news is good news, but I'm not holding my breath.
They better bloody hurry up, cos if I have got it i've got to tell them how much time i'll be needing off for testing! |

I've been pondering the fact that the King of Kents doesn't appear to have many people making a serious attempt at it. What is needed, methinks, is a slogan to help promote it. The best I have come up with so far is "KoK - suck it and see."
Any other offers? |

It needs more than a slogan Ian.......
I know everyone has an idea of how it should have been but to get it started it should have only been 4 rounds - Mallory Park Oulton Park Castle Combe Brands Festival |

I think there's general agreement that the format isn't quite right. My own view is that KoK contests should have been at neutral venues, plus the Festival.

Am I right in thinking that everything for Silverstone is now firmly on the Saturday?

The competition is going to be close, so you might say the Kok is hard?
I fact those that are at the front could be refered to the cream of the Kok |
