For the third and penultimate round of the Champions of the Future Academy Program UK Series, the tight and technical circuit of Larkhall played host to the Mini 60, OK-N Junior and OK-N Senior categories. The drivers would battle on a circuit that has previously welcomed stars such as Lewis Hamilton, George Russell, Lando Norris and, of course, David Coulthard, who cut his teeth and began his racing career at the Scottish venue.

Built in 1961 and located just outside Glasgow, the circuit has spent more than six decades helping shape generations of drivers, earning a reputation as one of the most respected karting venues in the United Kingdom.
