FAQ's

The ARKS Test includes the theory & driving test along with the examiner. You will need to arrange a Kart, the correct PPE and pay the relevant practice day fee.

If you should fail one part of the ARKS Test, you are able to retake the theory or the driving test again. This is at a reduced rate of £50 for the written test and £60 for the driving test.

You will be able to apply for a MotorsportUK Licence, which entitles you to enter MotorsportUK permitted events. You will need to collect a minimum of 6 signatures in order to remove the novice (Black Background, White Number Plates).
