A new type of competitive motorsport, Motorkhana, is coming to Pembrey Circuit on 1 December, and is open for anyone 14-years-old and over to enter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set up by Kidwelly Motor Club, the event offers the chance to put the pedal to the metal on a racing circuit without breaking the bank. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To enter, you will need a \u00a310 motor club membership, \u00a335 for the entry fee, and any fully-functioning car of your choosing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event is free to watch.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Originally from Australia, Motorkhana<\/a> challenges you to manoeuvre your car through tight slalom tests and obstacles as quickly as possible. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Writing for CarGuide Australia, motoring journalist Tom White gave his top tips on how to succeed in a Motorkhana event<\/a>. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his article, Tom explained that smaller cars were always faster, and that any driver should make use of the handbrake to get the best times. He also added that Motorkhana events encourage fun and participation, rather than competition.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Kidwelly Motor Club website<\/a> says that Motorkhana is for existing motorsport fanatics and new enthusiasts alike, as well as those who simply need to dust off the car in the garage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mark Sugden, chairman of the Kidwelly Motor Club, said, \u201cMotorkhana is open to all ages between 14 and 90, and we try to encourage the youngsters taking part wherever we can.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe event is open to all casual racers, and we also cater to ladies who would love to blast around a circuit in a car.\u201d

There is an awards night at the end of the year to celebrate those who made the podium. For those who missed out on the awards; there will be more opportunities to hone your skills.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mark said, \u201cWe are planning five or six Motorkhana events for next year, and the motor club committee is currently discussing staging a championship round too.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
