Hotbuggy Debut at Riders Rally Kart Challenge

08 July 2003

The Hotbuggy Rally Kart, designed and developed by Octave Engineering, will make a grand and intense racing debut at Donington Park on Thursday 10th July.

The event is the Riders for Health World Rally Kart Challenge with Kenny Roberts Snr, Alistair McRae, Randy Mamola, Jim Moodie, Niall McKenzie, Robby Head, Steve Parrish and Bill Gwynne.

The event has been devised by Riders for Health, with the help of Bill Gwynne Motorsport, as a new feature to their unique event Day of Champions.

Riders, who have devised transport systems in Africa so that essential healthcare services are supplied regurlarly and efficiently for the minimum cost, are the official charity of MotoGP.

Bill Gwynne has been an Octave Engineering customer for a number of years and was in no doubt that the Hotbuggy was the kart for such an event. The precise and extreme limits that Hotbuggy can acheive is the perfect choice to ensure that the racing is as fun as it gets. Drivers of this level need something special to have a blast with.

This is a very special event. It costs £10. Hotbuggy is on track between 11.30 & 12.00 for practice with the challenge time-trials starting at 16.00.
