Elmhirst Cyclekart GP 2023 Documentary

The documentary video of the Elmhirst Cyclekart Grand Prix of 2023, held at Elmhirst Resort in Keene, Ontario, Canada. Near the city of Peterborough.
The Elmhirst Grand Prix is the largest official cyclekart event east of the Rockies. It is also one of the few North American events where genuine racing is allowed. In 2023, the event consisted of a time trial competition (fastest single lap), a concourse d'elegance contest and a 2.4 hour "Cyclekart Lemans" endurance race.
Time Trials: Each CK gets 15 minutes on track to post the fastest possible lap.
Concourse D'Elegance: Spectators, volunteers and the racers themselves vote for their favorite CK in 3 categories; "Best Technical Achievement"; "Most Resembles Inspiration Car"; and "Best Overall Craftsmanship".
2.4 Hours Cyclekart Lemans: Complete with a traditional Lemans start (the first CK event to incorporate one), racers complete as many laps of the street course as possible within 2 hours and 24 minutes (2.4 hours).

I wish we had this in Romania, the closest thing to this that we have is Go Karts

[@andrewroudny]

There are CK groups in Europe, including Hungary. Look around on Facebook and you should find their group. Also, check out the Cyclekart online store. CK t-shirts start conversations! www.redbubble.com/people/ARK-Online/shop?asc=u

LOL either joint would have worked knowing how your day went .lol

[@andrewroudny]

Hahaha. True enough!

[@RickBarrow-vx1ut]

Looks like you all had a great time at a well organized and run event. Congratulations! I’m planning on building my first cyclekart this coming year. I hope you have a 2024 event because I would like to participate. Keep up the great work. Rick (from Thunder Bay, Ontario.

[@andrewroudny]

Hey Rick. I'm glad you liked the video. Send an email to [e-mail] to get on our mailing list for the 2024 event. I'll be sending out some very significant news the second week of January. Good luck with your build!

[@bradrock7731]

Karts are cool. Music.............not so much.I lasted 8 min & went to find other kart vids where I can hear the engines without gangsta rap.

[@andrewroudny]

Fair enough. I was going to do a music-less version as well. Btw, there is no gangsta rap on there anywhere. Wait till roughly the halfway mark. Some good rock and roll too.

[@olsonspeed]

Great fun, creativity and friendship, "gentleman racing". Good production, you captured the spirit of cyclekarting.

[@andrewroudny]

This year's GP is going to be even better.

[@ThalassTKynn]

Well I know where I'm going next September!

[@andrewroudny]

Get on the mailing list for news. The 2024 date looks like it will be in June. More news to come. Send an email to [e-mail]

[@methamphetasaur]

I love that Baby Beast of Turin.

[@andrewroudny]

It's very impressive. One of the heavier CKs too. But still goes like stink.

[@drlong08]

Oh, the Canadian humour is in full force with this video! As a 1/2 Canuck, I definitely appreciate it! I'd like this twice but Utoob won't let me.

[@andrewroudny]

Very kind of you. A person has to have a sense of humour when they live in Canada.

[@bonnevillegarage]

Another great event and show

[@bryandickerson5365]

Nicely done Andrew! It really makes me really miss the Tieton days. Fun to see John and Kobus race and to see your car running after watching the build all those years. Congratulations on a fantastic event!

[@andrewroudny]

Thanks! Will we see you up here this year?

[@bryandickerson5365]

@@andrewroudny No, but I wish! I was visiting good friends in NY State back in Sept and got to see some action at Watkins Glen Historic races. I looked for Kobus there, saw his Porsche but missed the man - darn. Wish he’d brought the ‘Beast’ there too!

[@drewneven2088]

Awesome. Does everyone know why you named it wheel killer corner?😂

[@andrewroudny]

Not EVERYONE, but you do! We gonna see you this year?

[@drewneven2088]

Well I don't want to embarrass anyone in front of EVERYONE but you certainly are easier to catch when you're on 3 wheels. I'd love to come, I'll see if I can sell it to the family. @@andrewroudny

[@andrewroudny]

BTW, I just realized that Kobus broke a wheel in the hairpin this year, so now the Wheel Eater is responsible for 2 wheels eaten!

[@kobusreyneke]

Brilliant- thanks for bringing it back to life!! 🙏👏

[@idiotluggage]

This was great. Thanks for sharing it. I loved the Lemans start.

[@andrewroudny]

It was a hoot with 10 cars. This year we will likely have 20!

[@idiotluggage]

@@andrewroudny That sounds like it is going to be really fun.

[@andrewroudny]

@idiotluggage if you're near enough, drop by.

[@idiotluggage]

@@andrewroudny I wish I could. I have always wanted to visit Canada.

[@geraldhoover1735]

Hi guys. Looks like it was a good time with all the wit and the racing. I'll never get up there with the Lotus but wish i could . Nice documentary

[@andrewroudny]

This year, it looks like 9-10 hours is the drive some people are pondering. Are you further than that?

[@JeffStephenson-y9k]

Awesome video! That was such a great event. I'm so glad that I was able to be there to experience it!

[@andrewroudny]

Hope you'll be at the next one.
