GlazeKart - date and venue fixed

Organiser, Nick Moss of Walnut Motorsport confirmed that the response to the launch announcement has been tremendous.

‘We've had over 20 companies expressing an interest in entering a team and we're ready to announce some exciting developments,' he said.

‘First of all I can confirm that the date and venue are now fixed. The 3 hour endurance race will take place on Friday, 5th May at Daytona Milton Keynes, the events starting at 3.00 pm and finishing around 9.00 pm.

‘We are delighted to announce that Alcoa Extrusions have agreed to sponsor the team hospitality, providing the drivers with teas, coffees, soft drinks and a barbecue. We are also pleased to confirm that Swish Window & Door Systems will be an associate sponsor and will have an involvement in the event, as will Glassex. In fact GlazeKart will have its own dedicated stand at the exhibition in March!' says Nick.

‘Although only a small presence, GlazeKart should create quite a stir at the show, being an unusual product for our industry!

‘It also comes at a time when there is very good news about Glassex and the growing number of companies planning to attend this year, so hopefully we can be part of that positive momentum. 2005 hasn't been the easiest year for many in our industry; I hope Glassex will signal the start of a much better market environment in 2006.

‘We have a maximum number of 30 team places available for the event on May 5th, but, if we get even more interest we will explore the possibility of holding another GlazeKart later in the year.'The fee for entering a team is just £599 + VAT.
