BM Junior Training Programme
From the age of 9 -15 years budding drivers are welcome to join our renowned BM Junior Academy sessions to develop their race craft with the help of experienced coaches but without the need to purchase a kart or equipment. They can also put these skills to the test in our monthly competitive BM Junior Club Championship races, if they wish; forming part of the circuits 'Super Saturday' with races for juniors, graduates and adults scheduled throughout the day. Drivers are strongly advised to take part in an Academy session before entering the Junior Club Championship or Rookie races.

Each Junior Club Race Event (monthly on a Saturday morning) includes a practice session and a number of point scoring heats for all drivers. Awards are presented at the end of each event to the top performing drivers. These monthly results also go forward to determine an overall Championship winner who is awarded a fantastic trophy at the end of each Winter and Summer season.
Before entering your first BM Junior Club race we advise drivers take part in a Junior Academy session first to help learn the circuit and get a feel for the karts to ensure that they will be ready for the race.
