The Ulster Karting Club promoted series is all about consistency with points from heats also counting and locals will be all out to do well.

Kyle Price has maintained a strong pressure all year and in the Ulster championships Kyle pushed all the way. In the end Kyle took second with only one place worth of points separating him from Finlay.

Lisburn’s Jamie Grant, Megan McCrea and Dromore’s Ross Graham will also be hoping to build on their top ten finishes so the top five could be a busy place for locals this Sunday.

In World Formula, Dromore’s David Lilburn really impressed at Easter and with a string of wins secured the Ulster Championships comfortably. Hillsborough’s James Coulter has also started well this season and a fourth at Easter shows his potential.

The circuit has been a hot bed of activity of recent with the two rounds of the Fuch Lubricants British Open Rallycross championship last weekend. Some karting drivers will also be using the 2 May Ulster Cup round as their preparations for the British Championship round that will visit the circuit on 29th and 30th of May.

In the Ulster Championships Lisburn’s Kris Fitzpatrick made a strong return to the sport and with other top ten contenders Gareth Greer from Ballynahinch, William Martin from Lisburn and Dromara’s Andrew Lynch then the class will be a strong one for locals.

Racing gets underway at 10am.
