The longest and proudest continuous competition class in the world of karting !

210 Villiers-powered karts started as the "Class IV" in the 1960's and were the first properly regulated gearbox karts to race in Britain ! The Class became "210 National", as a clarification, after newer gearbox classes were introduced. Whilst the basic Villiers engine and gearbox design remains unchanged - clever engineering has enabled the class to evolve and continue as a successful and highly competitive form of karting with lap records continuing to be broken as 210 advances still further!

We need your help in filling in a few blanks (below) for which, unfortunately, no records exist. If you can help please Email me on this link - thank you.
