I remember back in the early 90s, Perry Grondstra, the Dutchman, won this race in his superkart, for the World Championship. His fastest lap in the race was an outright track record. For that feat he was awarded prize money from Shell. I think it was a grand, but dont' quote me on that, been 30 years give or take. Damned things weighed 195 kgs back then, including driver, was before all the deadly accidents that fattened them up. Nice change from Donnington, Oulton Park etc, this is a great track for these karts, even more so for the singles I suspect.
