Veterinary Karting Championship Gets Off To A Flying Start
The events have been organised to take place after evening surgery and veterinary professionals change from veterinary uniforms into their race suits, before receiving race and safety briefings.
Racing lasts for an hour and a half, during which time teams have to use clever strategies and tactics to remain in pole position and avoid eviction from the track for foul play. At the end of the evening, all competitors get a goody bag and jacket, with each member of the winning team receiving a bottle of champagne, a trophy and certificate.
The teams that have qualified so far for the National Final are: Manchester Bears, Essex Panthers, Scottish Bears, Reading Bears and Camberley Elks. There will be a break from racing over the festive period, with the next regional heat taking place in Bristol on Tuesday 18th January. Further heats will then be held in Birmingham, Loughborough, Aylesbury and Leeds, followed by the National Final on Sunday 20th March in Milton Keynes.
Eligible members of BEVA will be able to vote for their Council team until Monday, 17 August 2026. Members will have received an election email on 17 July.
