Kingston university's mega popular karting society - the one with the strange name - are back to fight like only KOKS know how.
Kingston Original Karting Society (KOKS), established nearly 2 decades ago won Kingston University Sports Club of the Year in 2010/11 and it wasn't just because they have the funniest name at uni.
As well being one of the largest clubs at Kingston, they compete every year in the BUKC, have their own in house championship and do many random one off varsity races and endurance races.
Although they have no ex-professional drivers/karters, they get their practice in almost every week at local arrive and drive circuits. According to team captain Fernando Moreira "any result is a good result for us in BUKC and we take each race as a learning curve, and an excuse for a top day off!"
