Kawartha Durham Kart Club Confirms Bridgestone "Thrill of a Lifetime" for 2010

The Bridgestone Racing Academy has confirmed that they will once again be offering a “Thrill of a Lifetime” lapping day at the Mosport International Driver Development track to qualified senior KDKC members.

This amazing opportunity has been generously provided to members of the club for many years and will once again be an opportunity to experience the high speeds of the Bridgestone Academy’s Formula 2000 cars. Everything you need is provided free of charge (a retail value of almost $1,000.00). There can be no argument that this is the greatest perk available to any kart club in Ontario (Canada?) and to the largest number of members. Whether you want to move on to open wheel racing or just want to be able to say, ”I ran a fully winged race car”, a day at the Bridgestone Racing Academy can’t be beat.

Following an introductory briefing, you will be issued your personal racing gear and you're off to pit lane and the outstanding fleet of Van Diemen Formula cars. These purpose-built single seaters are very responsive with an incredible power-to-weight ratio. The warm-up lapping session becomes the exciting topic of conversation during breaks. Drivers then return to the track for three full 20-minute lapping sessions at even higher speeds than the two-session version.

“This is an excellent opportunity and we are very grateful to Bridgestone for their continued support.” Paul Evans, President of KDKC.

Check the Bridgestone Racing Academy’s website for all the great, affordable programs and courses they offer for drivers and mechanics but remember that only KDKC members have the chance to attend one free!
