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.

Karting is not for the faint hearted as these little monsters can get up to speeds of 70mph! Also some of the tracks around the country will have chicanes, banked turns and fly-over’s.

When you arrive at your chosen track you will have a safety meeting where you will be advised on the centre’s flag and light signals (which will usually confirm to standard motor sport standards) as well as how to control the karts and general track racing etiquette. Once you have completed the talk and been kitted out into your racing gear, you will be unleashed onto the track to get some serious karting action under your belt.
