About Hunts Kart Racing Club
Based in Kimbolton, Hunts Kart Racing Club was founded back in 1959 by a group of enthusiasts who wanted somewhere to race their recently purchased Karts. The circuit was developed over the years and was the largest circuit in East Anglia in the 1970s. The present track was completed in the 1990s and occupies what was formerly the home of the 379th USAF Bomber Squadron during World War Two.
In 2024 HKRC will be celebrating it’s 65th anniversary and will be entering into a live streaming arrangement with races to be broadcast online to around 6,000 viewers per race.
