...Spain, Caro says, and now traffic is building on the U.K.'s kart tracks too. Hamilton's record-breaking season - he's won three of the 14 races so far, becoming the youngest-ever driver to lead the world championship - has left circuits reporting a "surge in demand," says Graham Smith, secretary of the Association of British Kart Clubs.
