Hosted by UBMRC and perfect for beginners, the University of Birmingham Karting Series is an affordable way to dip your toes into motorsport. The vast majority of the races take place at karting tracks in and around Birmingham. This is a completely social series, designed for fun and friendly competition.

UBKS is great for those who have always wanted to try karting. Drivers are given a safety briefing to get them up to speed with the controls, there is no need to purchase your own equipment and we offer you discounts on pricing compared to rental karting independent of the club.

Part of the reason why UBKS is so popular in UBMRC is because it caters to experienced drivers as well as beginners, with race formats guaranteeing you will be on track with drivers of a similar ability. We have had numerous professional racing drivers that take part in UBKS and they all kept coming back for more! 

Race formats often change race-by-race however some very common formats are outlined below:

Team Endurance

Individual Sprints
