*This event is trans and non-binary friendly!

Join us on 30th September as we hold our first Women's* Give-It-A-Go, THE event to get yourself involved with the Motorsport Society. Whether you've never karted before or you're a seasoned veteran, this is the place to be.

Your ticket for the event will include 30 minutes of driving broken up into 2 sessions:

• 15 minutes of practice and qualifying, where you get to know the track and set your fastest time against 15 others, which determines your starting position for the race
• Followed by a 15-minute race, battling for positions!

Transport to TeamSport Leeds is included in your ticket - a coach will take you from the Parkinson Building to the track, and back afterwards. With tickets at just £34 you will not find more affordable racing anywhere else!

This event does not require a membership and is purely in place to give you a taste of racing and the society to find out if we are the right fit for you. If you do enjoy your time, then membership costs just £35, giving you access to purchase tickets for all our future events throughout this academic year. This includes our internal karting championships known as Tour de Yorkshire, as well as countless other special events throughout the year.

It's also worth noting that if you have your eyes set on competing nationally for Leeds at the British University Karting Championships (BUKC), this is your first chance to impress!

All that we need from you is the following:

• Purchase a ticket for the event.
• Turn up at the bottom of the Parkinson Building Steps at 14:15.
• Wear (or bring) appropriate clothing (No open-toed footwear or scarves to be worn on track). All other kit (e.g. gloves, racing suit, and helmet) will be provided for you. Balaclavas are included with your ticket.
• Finally, have fun and enjoy meeting new people with similar passions to yourselves.

We hope to see as many of you at the event as possible, for some fast-paced, action-packed fun!
