Welcome From Tal-Ko Racing
Dear Formula TKM Driver On behalf of Tal-Ko Racing, Maxxis Tyres and the Hunts Kart Racing Club we have pleasure in welcoming you to the 2013 Maxxis Kimbolton TKM Festival which once again features our unique format to give you competitive racing, great value for money and a weekend to remember. Once again we have full TV coverage for the event being beamed to 200m homes across the world. And there will be talent scouts looking out for more future stars from within 2 the class to follow in the wheel-tracks of successful race car drivers like Oliver Jarvis, Tom Onslow-Cole, Jeff Smith and Nathan Freke, all past competitors at the Festival. And let’s not forget F1 star Jenson Button. On top of that there will be a display of historic karts with chassis and/or engine supplied by Tal-Ko over its 50+ years history. The effort put in by everyone at Hunts Kart Club deserves a very big thank you from all of us as does the financial boost coming from Maxxis Tyres, our long time suppliers to the TKM classes. Whether novice or expert we hope you thoroughly enjoy your weekend.

Tal-Ko Racing History Comes to Festival
TKM owner and manufacturer, Tal-Ko Racing, has a long history within the karting world and numerous UK and International championship titles to its credit. And this weekend historic Tal-Ko powered and built karts will turn back the clock. Originally started in 1958 by Bernie Turney, the company has a fine reputation as an importer of quality karts and engines, while more recently being the only UK manufacturer of kart racing engines sold under the TKM brand name for 2 & 4 stroke classes. Over the years literally thousands of drivers have relied and won on TKM equipment including F1 driver David Coulthard and World Champion Jenson Button, who was a Junior S1 title-holder in the TKM 2-stroke class. Other star drivers like Anthony Davidson, Tom Onslow-Cole, Colin Turkington, Gary Paffett, Oliver 3 Turvey and Nathan Freke, have more recently graduated from the Formula TKM classes and some of whom raced at this event. Since the death of his father in 1982, the company has been run by Alan Turney, himself a former top British kart racer and once team-mate to Nigel Mansell in the UK squad. Alan is an engine expert whose skills have fine tuned engines winning World Championship and British Grand Prix titles. The TKM BT82 engine used for the Formula TKM 2-stroke classes derived its name from Bernie Turney as a memorial – BT (Bernie Turney) and 82 – the year he died. The engine was first used in the USA where it become the dominant force within their categories and took their World Endurance titles. It was introduced into this country first of all under the title of the 100UK class in 1989. Later the class became known as Formula TKM. The TKM K4S 4-stroke engine was introduced in 2000 and was the world’s first 4-stroke engine designed and developed specifically for kart racing. It is used as far away as Canada and Japan. On track this weekend will be a display of historic karts making use of Tal-Ko made engines including early TKM models and before that Tal-Ko’s Hewland Arrow engines. The display comes at a time when there is growing interest in racing historic karts and when Tal-Ko are actively supporting the movement with availability of spares for older engines. Meanwhile the company is also just preparing to launch a new engine onto the world market aimed at giving Cadet age drivers a stepping stone onto greater performance. So 54 years on from its creation Tal- Ko remains a significant player in karting with its engines used in many markets around the world, and in the UK with its commitment to providing the best value racing available through Formula TKM.

Historic Karts Add a Touch of Nostalgia to Kimbolton’s Maxxis TKM Festival
Owners of historic karts are being invited to join in one of the UK’s top karting events - the Maxxis TKM Festival which celebrates its 15th year at Kimbolton in August. With historic karts becoming more popular by the year and with both Tal-Ko and Kimbolton being trail-blazers in karting with histories going back to its birth more than 50 years ago, it is a perfect addition to this special celebration of TKM karting. Any kart using a TKM or Hewland Arrow engine will be eligible to take part in what will be an 20 on-track demonstration on Sunday, August 11. Also included Tal-Ko supplied karts which includes the original Get Kart and the legendary Voo Doo kart both of which were manufactured by Tal-Ko in the late fifties and sixties. Tal-Ko boss Alan Turney said: “This is great news. We started making TKM engines back in 1978 and it will be great to see some of the old models out on the circuit where they used to be raced many years ago. “Over the past year or so interest in historic karts has been accelerating rapidly and we have been pleased to help those with older equipment by supplying spares which we still have on our shelves.” The organisers are also hoping to encourage along drivers who used to race at the Kimbolton circuit over its 54 year history for a special reunion. As usual the TKM Festival will be covered for Motors TV and the historics will be expected to appear as part of that adding a touch of nostalgia to the highly competitive nature of the annual event. Says Martin Chesterman, Chairman of the Hunts Kart Club which runs Kimbolton: “This circuit has such a long history stretching back to the very earliest days of karting so it will be great to bring some old names and equipment back to the track.”

The Festival retains its very popular and unique format to fit in the maximum amount of racing and allow for drivers of all levels to compete against each other. The weekend includes two full days of racing and optional Friday testing. Saturday evening there will be licensed refreshments and entertainment in the marquee including a hog roast. How does it work 24 Thursday site opens at 9.00am to allow teams to set up for the race weekend. Some pitbay spaces will be available for the race weekend at £20 per bay, call 01480 212210 for availability. Friday will be sessioned testing all day starting at 10am. Only competitors that have entered the Festival are permitted to practice. Saturday will start with official practice and then move onto timed qualifying with the order of times used to set the grid positions for all heats. No weather problems because the positions/ times will be based on order within your qualifying heat. On Sunday there will be a last heat with your results used to determine your grid position for the pre-final. There will be at least three heats for all classes – in some categories there may be more depending on numbers. • In the large classes, after the heats, the top 34 from heats go into the Elite pre-final. The next 30 into theFestival Cup pre-final. • If necessary there will be B finals and C finals with the top 4 going through each time. • Results from the pre-finals will be used to set the grids for the finals. • Tyres will be held in parc ferme for the weekend in the main classes, but not for Clubman and 4-stroke. There is no control fuel.

You cannot compete in more than one 2 or 4 stroke class. The categories are Junior 2 and 4 stroke, Senior 2 and 4 stroke. Dependent on numbers 2 and 4 strokes may race together for separate trophies. Clubman This class will run in line with the Clubman class being run at Shenington and Rissington with a couple of minor changes which are underlined.

Timed Qualifying We will again be using the international system of timed qualifying to set grid positions for all heats. Where entries are larger than one grid we will ensure fairness by using the 101% rule to cover any change of weather conditions between sessions. Karts will be placed in qualifying sessions by random picking. During the course of the heats every driver will race against every other within the class. Please study your grid positions carefully. Note that during qualifying you do not have to go on track until you are ready within the allotted time. However once you have gone out onto the track you are not permitted to come back in and go out again. Note that during qualifying the scales can only be used by those drivers on the track. Race Format In both of the TKM 2-stroke classes the heats will be split into groups. At the conclusion of qualifying and heats the classes will be split with the top section going straight through into the Elite final (34 karts maximum). The 30 remainder will go into the A & B Festival finals as required. Top four will move up from B final to the A. There will be no drivers moving forward from the Festival final to the Elite.

If you have read are previous adverts, you’ll know we went to F1’s fastest team, Red Bull for a tour but this time we went to one of the world’s leading companies in synthetic resins and polymers, Scott Bader. We learnt the prestigious art of applying a Gelcoat to a plastic mould and laminating Fibre Glass, the team thoroughly enjoyed the trip. The only question we’re thinking is: where next?
We would like to thank our sponsors Hunts Kart Racing Club, Gerratts Brushes, Scott Bader, Schwalbe, Kimbolton Fireworks, Kimbolton School Society, Kimbolton School CCF and Robinson Coaches. This has enabled us to gather up £1770 but with more money, not only would the rear of the kart be carbon fibre, the whole thing would be, giving us the edge!
