The club

Forest Edge is run by its members. The people who race here are the people who put the circuit up, marshal it, and take it down again on Sunday night.

An owner driver club on MOD ground.

Forest Edge Kart Club races on Ministry of Defence land at Barton Stacey, under a Motorsport UK circuit licence. The tarmac is permanent; nothing else is.

Barriers, race control, the grid and the paddock layout are built by marshals and officials ahead of every meeting and dismantled again afterwards. That is why the site rules are strict, and it is why the club is always glad to hear from anyone willing to marshal.

The circuit rewards a driver who can carry speed: fast straights linked by technical corner complexes, split into three timed sectors.

No marshals,
no meeting.

Every session at Forest Edge runs because volunteers are standing on the posts. Marshals build the circuit on Friday, work it through the weekend, and take it down on Sunday evening.

No experience is needed and training is provided. If you can give a weekend, email the Competition Secretary.

Safeguarding

Forest Edge runs cadet and junior classes, and the club has a Safeguarding Officer. If something concerns you about the welfare of a young person at the circuit, raise it. You do not need proof and you can ask to stay anonymous.

If the concern involves someone at the club, or the club has not got back to you, go straight to Motorsport UK or the NSPCC instead. Both routes are independent of Forest Edge.

Raising a safeguarding concern

If a child is in immediate danger, call the police on 999. You do not need to be certain before you report something.
