Grand Prix racing is one of the most exciting forms of Motorsport. Imagine racing wheel to wheel with your friends or colleagues, sat only inches off the ground in 60mph racing karts, four abreast into the first corner - this is the closest thing you'll get to racing without a licence. Compete as individuals or groups in our Super Prix events using 390cc race chassis Thunderkarts. Our Super Prix events are designed for both large and small groups.
Are you up to the challenge and can you handle the pressure? To book, please call 01264 774 917

Grand Prix
£69 (Weekdays), £82 (Weekends) per person
Call 01264 774 917 for more information
Plenty of track time, ultra competitive and thoroughly rewarding, our Grand Prix events are the most popular format we run. The practice session gives enough time to learn the circuit in preparation for the first round of heats. Heading up to the first corner four abreast approaching 50mph, this is proper racing! If you don't do well the first time then there's always another heat to make up some places. Then a final awaits (all drivers will drive in a Final), the top three receive trophies and the winner receives that all important champagne.
A minimum of thirteen payments are required for semi-exclusivity. Suitable for large or small groups. Groups over fifteen are split into two, and run with a slightly different format:
- 8 minute practice for group 1
- 8 minute practice for group 2
- Group 1 heat 1 - 8 laps
- Group 2 heat 1 - 8 laps
- Group 1 heat 2 - 8 laps
- Group 2 heat 2 - 8 laps
- A final - 12 laps
- B final - 12 laps
- Approx 3 hours total
Points are scored in all the heats to decide who drives in which final - note that all drivers take part in a final.

Karting Tuition
£70 for a 1 hour session

Thinking of taking up kart racing? Fancy improving your karting skills? Our karting tuition may be just the thing for you. One of our instructors will teach you about racing technique, including what lines to take on the circuit, when to brake etc.
Sessions run over a one hour period. In this time, you'll be given a full briefing (which goes into a lot more technical detail than our standard briefing), have a walk-round of the track, the karts and the pit lane area. On to the track - you start off following the instructor, then the instructor will follow you watching your progress and finding ways in which you can improve your technique. Once all this is done, you'll be sent out to complete some timed laps, with a full debriefing to conclude the session. Lap record sheets will be available. We can tailor your tuition to suit if required.
If you're interested in some of our karting tuition, please call us on 01264 774 917.
Please note we do tuition on weekdays only
