Member Benefit of the Month
In the heart of British motorsport country, just a stone’ s throw from Silverstone, Base Performance Simulators( BPS) has established itself as a pivotal asset in modern driver development. Founded in 2009 by Aston Martin works driver and triple Le Mans winner Darren Turner, BPS has grown into a premier destination for professional and aspiring racers seeking a competitive edge.
Its in-house facility houses two world-class simulators: a GT rig with a highly immersive static set-up, and a state-ofthe-art single-seater simulator mounted on a full-motion six-degrees-of-freedom platform. This dual offering allows drivers to prepare for the unique demands of both categories with unparalleled accuracy and feedback.
But it’ s not just the technology that sets BPS apart; it is the people – and the holistic approach. As the demands on modern drivers grow ever more complex, Base Performance Simulators offers the tools, environment, and expertise to meet those challenges.
Alongside elite-level engineers and driver coaches with top-tier motorsport credentials, BPS offers a comprehensive driver development programme. On-site facilities also include a private gym, with structured physical conditioning overseen by specialist partners.
Whether preparing for a debut season, dialling in for a major championship, or returning to racing after a break, every element of the BPS experience is tailored to the individual. Each session blends telemetry analysis, live coaching, and post-session debriefs to maximise learning and development – both in and out of the cockpit.
With a customer base spanning F3, F4 WEC, BTCC, GB4, GB3, GT and beyond, Base Performance Simulators continues to set the benchmark for simulator-based coaching – it is a place where talent is refined, confidence is built, and milliseconds are found.

New Website for ABKC
The Association of British Kart Clubs( ABKC) has a new website design and an innovative club finder. Visitors need only put in their location and set the distance they are prepared to travel, then they will be returned with a list of member kart clubs within range.
There are also several clubs that do not have a fixed venue and are travelling clubs or championship organisers that hire kart circuits as needed. These are separately listed on the Clubs page. The Start Karting page shows more details of these type of clubs.
The ABKC is very privileged to be the only discipline specific Regional Association. The ABKC was founded in 1990 and for a decade published the Kart Class Regulations, which became the Karting Yearbook, now available from Motorsport UK.
