The Track
The historic Rye House Racing Circuit is one of
the oldest in existence and over the years has hosted
many national and international meetings as well as the
regular club meetings.
Regarded by many as the greatest test of driver skill,
Rye House has seen many F1 stars of today (and
yesteryear!) hone their driving skills on this demanding
track, on their climb up the racing ladder. Sections
such as “Stadium Bend”, “Reg’s Elbow” and the “Pylon
Complex” are as well regarded by Karter’s as “Paddock
Hill Bend”, the “Tamburello” and the “Rascasse” are to
F1 followers.
About the Series
The Ryehouse Owner driver Series was originally
setup by Ken Jones who wanted a friendly and competitive
series. Since its first race the series has gone from
strength to strength to bring well over 20 teams every
single month.

Race Format:- Endurance (Typically 4 hours)

On Track Medical Care
As The circuit are not
responsible for ambulance or medical cover, One of our
drivers,
Robert kindly organises to collect £10 for each team
to cover the cost of having St John Ambulance medics on
hand. They attend from 12 noon till race end at 7.00pm.
This year the cost to have St John's in attendance has
risen by 20%, but we believe that if all team pays the
£10.00 will still be able to cover the cost.
Please make
Robert's life easier and come and find him with your money, or better still have
it with you at the drivers briefing.
Robert is racing again this year so is unable to spend the
day chasing people for money. The donation is voluntary
and if you don’t wish to pay, then please speak to
Robert
