Club100 is a UK-based "hire kart" karting championship. Senior/Junior karts use identical BirelART chassis, Rotax Junior Max 2 stroke engines and Dunlop KE1 tyres, while the Cadet championship use a smaller BirelART chassis, a smaller Rotax Micro Max 2 stroke engine and Dunlop SL3 tyres, these are provided by the club to an equal standard, putting all competitors on a level playing field.

History

The first Club100 championship was held in 1993. Initially it was a 6-round sprint championship held at Buckmore Park and has since grown into a multi-event series held all over the country at some of the UK's top karting circuits. In 1995, the sprint championship was split up into two weight categories. 1997 saw the creation of the first endurance championship and this has grown into 4 separate championships for rookies, intermediates, clubman and premier level teams. 2004 saw the creation of the Clubman endurance championship that was a level between intermediate and premier level. In 2007, the sprints were split up again and a separate premier championship was created to accommodate the monopoly the top drivers held. The first winter championship was also held that year with all rounds being held at Rye House. In 2011, the sprint championship was split up further and 2 clubman championships were created (heavyweight and lightweight classes) as a stepping stone to the premier series. The format of the Open championship was changed from 3 hour endurance races for teams to a 60-minute format for individuals or teams of 2. The Advance Leisure series moved to a similar format with two 30 minute races. 2020 brought the Young Drivers Championship, which was a big success; it brought along two classes the Lightweight and Super Lightweight Young Driver Championship, this championship was open to people 14 - 18 years old. In 2022, a couple new classes were added/rebranded; the Lightweight and Super Lightweight Young Drivers Championship was rebranded into the Junior Lightweights, and Junior Super Lightweights. The two new classes are the Cadet, and Super Cadet classes. Both of these new classes have 12 minute practice, 10 minute qualifying, and 2 12 minute races. The Junior classes have an age range of 14 - 18 years old. Whereas, the Cadet class has an age range of 7 - 10 years old, and the Super Cadet class has an age range of 10 - 13 years old. For the 2023 season the Cadet and Super Cadet Championships have been switched to the Cadet Lightweight, and Cadet Super Lightweight classes. The Cadet Lightweights have a minimum weight of 45kg and an age range of 7-13 years old. Whereas Cadet Super Lightweight have a minimum weight of 35kg and an age range of 7-13 years old. Since 1999 the club has been managed by John Vigor. In 2006, he bought all the rights to Club100 from Playscape and moved the base of operations from Streatham in London to Rye House in Hoddesdon. In 2011 the base was moved to Sittingbourne, just next to the Bayford Meadows kart circuit.
