About Kartodrom Bydgoszcz
Overview
Kartodrom Bydgoszcz is an outdoor karting circuit on ulica Fordońska in Bydgoszcz, in the Kujawsko-Pomorskie region of northern Poland, set beside the River Brda. It belongs to the Polish Motor Union (PZM) and is managed by its regional company in Bydgoszcz. One of the oldest karting tracks in the country, it has hosted European and world championship rounds, and today it is used for karting, motorcycle racing, supermoto, pit bikes, scooters, quads and car events, as well as for training and individual sessions.
Technical Specifications and Track Features
Since its last rebuild the circuit has a single layout 1,017 metres long and 8 metres wide, with banking and gradients of up to 7 per cent. The start and finish straight is 160 metres long and 10 metres wide; the finish line comes 75 metres along it, followed by 85 metres to the first corner. The lap ends with a long left-hander that drivers call the patelnia, the frying pan, and the hardest braking point of the lap is the entry to a tight right-hand hairpin. The high-quality asphalt has a typical racing texture, while the raised kerb tiles on the inside and outside of the corners are not meant to be driven on. Six marshal posts cover the track, and vehicles are not allowed off the asphalt.
Facilities and Specialized Areas
The PZM building has toilets and showers, and the paddock has a tent and a depot building but no garages. Lecture and conference rooms can be booked with the track, and the site also has a skid pad and a manoeuvring area, which the PZM driving centre uses for safe-driving courses. Drivers can hire the track for their own vehicles from 8:00 to 18:00, and there are motorcycle afternoons early in the week and pit bike training on Tuesdays. Rental karts are run on site by KartGoo, from single and double karts to a 36-horsepower sport kart, and on Tuesdays the rental runs the circuit the other way round. The track closes for the winter from November to March.
History
The track was built from 1976, starting with a public construction committee and voluntary work supported by local building and road firms, and the first international race was held in September 1976. It hosted the European karting championships in 1977 and 1979, was fully overhauled in 1986, and went on to stage a CIK/FIA Cup round in 1990, the world and European championships in Formula C in 1994 and a European championship round in 1996. It was homologated for regional and zone events in 2007, and in 2011 and 2012 it was rebuilt to its present shape and length. Since then it has held rounds of the Rotax MAX Challenge Polska, the ROK Cup Poland, the Polish karting championship and the FIA Central European Zone championship, together with fourteen rounds of the Polish supermoto championship and the national pit bike series.
