Jay Kay builds £100,000 go-kart track at Buckinghamshire home

Jamiroquai's Jay Kay has built a £100,000 go-kart track at his Buckinghamshire mansion while banned from driving, and has applied to Wycombe District Council to keep it.

Jay Kay has had a £100,000 go-karting track built in the grounds of his Buckinghamshire mansion.

As previously reported, the singer was banned from driving for six months after being clocked doing 105mph. A friend told The Sun: "Driving is like a drug for Jay and this is the only way he can legally get around his ban. The track is brilliant. It's really professional, complete with ramps, a pit lane, crash barriers and a couple of nifty go-karts. He has already tried it out. He's like a kid with a new toy. He was devastated when he was caught speeding and was nearly in tears at the thought of his fleet of supercars gathering dust for the rest of the year."

Unfortunately the Jamiroquai singer forgot to apply for planning permission and has had to make an application to Wycombe District Council for the right to keep the track. Let's hope the authorities are more sympathetic this time round.
