Traditionally the earliest that children started racing was at eight years old. As children mature quicker these days we felt that there was a perfect opportunity for them to learn the basics of driving and race lines to prepare them for full racing at eight years of age.
The Bambino class takes children from age six until they reach eight and concentrates on teaching them the rudimentary steps of race craft using purpose made miniature two stroke race karts.
The Bambino School prepares the young drivers by teaching driving skills such as pedal control, steering, control of the kart and safety awareness. The school builds up the children's skills by degrees, the first lessons take place on the nursery circuit, the Kids Mini GP Circuit while their third grade is taught on the larger Club Circuit.
The Bambino Club is only open to those children who have successfully reached the grades in the Bambino School (or similar and approved elsewhere). The Club arranges competitions, though no actual racing just yet, in which the drivers compete against the clock.
