This competition is an excellent next step after the SOR Rental Championship or any similar event. It can also be your first step, as its concept is very similar to rental competitions and is completely open to all interested drivers, regardless of racing experience. There are no major commitments, the costs remain relatively low, yet the thrill is exponentially greater.
That said, you do need to qualify for participation through good behavior and a certain level of “speed” in rental races. But this shouldn’t be a hurdle—it’s just good preparation. The Tillotson T4 Cup is closer in price to rental competitions, yet the experience is almost identical to professional racing, where two-stroke racing karts are used—except those require significantly higher financial investments.
The karts used in the Tillotson T4 Cup share the same name as the competition itself and are available for rent, recreational driving, or training during our racing weekends and at T4 Track Days held throughout the year. More details on the kart’s specifications can be found on the Racing Team page of this site, where you’ll also find information on test and training sessions. So, before signing up for the competition, you can try the kart and see if it delivers the experience you’re looking for.
As in the Rental Championship, the top three drivers at the end of the season receive valuable prizes designed to either steer them toward professional karting or simply guarantee another year of fun—should they choose not to pursue a more serious racing career.
Almost forgot! You can WIN a spot in the Tillotson T4 Cup by winning the Tillotson T4 Qualifiers, which we also organize. These take place in the days leading up to the Cup, following the season calendar available on this site. Keep that in mind!
