Since the Pro Tour started this year. You go to this series and i thought this format is so much better. We showed up at Newcastle Pro Tour 1 and it was awsome, the amount of laps the races are and then you show up to the usual club day again and the laps are 8, 10 and 12 for instance and it just doesnt feel the same.

yeah i totally agree the Pro Tour certainly makes a club show look exactly what it is a "club show", It is far better for the karter with more laps and the meals that are included for the drivers are a good social event too, and the podiums are fun also. I think a lot of clubs could learn alot from the pro tour format, well done IKD
Hi Mat,
IKD have hit on a winner here and have done a great job.
Other events to follow?? first ask WHY Protour is so succesfull? apart from the prizes, promotion, and level of driver racing, the BIG thing is there was only the 6 classes running over a basically a three day event. Thus offerd what A LOT OF KARTERS WANT heaps of laps, racing and practice. Plus with much less pressure on the programme the events run more smoothly and everyone is more happy and thus the racing is much better and there is very little input by the officials.
So if a promoter/club could devise an event that offered what IKD offered then YES bring it on.
Maybe Leopard could do the same, but most likley wont as copying your competitor is basically agreeing that you are the follower not the leader, and don't want that to be shown in the market place.
IF CIK was to ever get to what it was that could be an event that could do the same as Protour but I think CIK will acompany Protour for a while yet.
