Compete in a series of go kart races to see who the overall champ is!
The tracks available for this karting experience are first class and not only allow for nerve tingling speed along the straights, but courage and skill through the tight corners. Many professional drivers started out racing go karts, some of which eventually graduated to Formula 1.
Please ensure that you arrive at the venue at least 30 minutes before the start of the activity because it is essential that you attend the mandatory safety briefing at the start of the day otherwise you won’t be allowed onto the track. Once the formalities are over, you will be kitted out into your racing gear and being the first of a few practice laps to get yourself used to the kart and the track layout. You will then compete in a series of heats; the fastest drivers will then go into the semi finals and eventually the final to see who the fastest driver is on the day.
Guidelines for participants
The minimum age to take part is 16 years old (under 18’s must be accompanied by a parent).
The minimum height to participate is 4′7″.
Participants must be reasonably fit and healthy to take part as the driving can be physically demanding.

Join the newest adrenalin fuelled craze and go blokarting!
Blokarting came originally from New Zealand and made its way over to the UK recently. The light wind powered go kart can reach speeds of up to 90kph with you controlling the kart speed and direction solely with your hands whilst sitting inches from the ground!
When you arrive at the venue to begin your blokarting session you will receive a safety talk and the all important explanation on how to control the blokart. You will be shown how to stop the kart, circle and “tack” by moving across the wind by an expert instructor. Towards the end of the session you will have the chance to have a race against the other members of your group.

Kart racing for two in Pro 390cc karts capable of reaching speeds of up to 70mph!
Don’t for a minute think that go karting is a soft option. You will be treading in the footsteps of Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button who started their motor sport careers on this very track in these karts, which incidentally can go as fast as 70mph.
On the day you will arrive at the venue and attend a safety meeting before being split into heavyweights and lightweights (a necessity to ensure a level playing field as weight can make a big difference in these machines). Maybe consider wearing black on the day to try to give you an edge by being selected in the lightweight category.
You will then jump in the kart and start some practice laps to get used to the kart and the 1,200m outdoor track layout. Then you will begin the heats which will be followed by the grand final for the fastest drivers. If you are in the top three fastest drivers you will make the trophy presentation!
Guidelines for participants
The minimum age to take part is 16 years old.
The minimum height to participate is 5′0″ and the maximum is 6′4″.
