Bennetts Coach Hire News

We are delighted to announce that Gavin Bennett has successfully reclaimed the European Super Kart title that he last held in 2007. After completing the gruelling race schedule, Gavin amassed 4 race wins leaving him a clear 28 points ahead of the second placed competitor.

During the season Gavin set three new lap records at Most in the Czech Republic, Assen and Magny-Cours.

Gavin said ” It was a really challenging season and I would like to place on record my thanks to my team and sponsors who have been really supportive over the years in helping me become European Champion”.

He now goes to Monte Carlo to attend the prestigious awards ceremony which is graced by the Formula One and Sports car drivers.

Next year Gavin is intending to retain the title, as well as competing in races in Dubai and Australia. New sponsors are always welcome and Gavin can be contacted via Bennetts Coaches.

As part of our continuing involvement with the local community, Gavin Bennett took his racing kart to Calton Road Infants School on 9th January 2009. The children were allowed to have a sit in the kart which is capable of 145 mph and has been used across Europe with great success, which saw Gavin become the European Champion in 2007.

All of the children had a fantastic time and gave them a great insight into the professional kart racing world, which has developed many F1 racing drivers over the years, including the current World Champion.

If your school would like a visit from Gavin and his kart, please contact us on 01452 – 527809

Bennetts Coaches are proud sponsors of Gavin Bennett Racing and look forward to a highly successful new racing season.
