Grand Prix Events

Grand Prix racing is one of the most exciting forms of Motorsport. Plenty of track time, ultra-competitive and thoroughly rewarding, our Grand Prix events are the most popular format we run. 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.

The practice session gives enough time to learn the circuit in preparation for the first heat race. Heading up to the first corner approaching 50mph, this is proper racing! If you don't do well the first time then there's always another race to make up some places. Then a final awaits (all drivers will drive in a Final). The top three receive trophies.

Endurance Events

Le Mans, Sebring, Daytona, Bathurst, all legendary endurance races. It's the true test of a driver's ability; one kart, one circuit and no mistakes. Using our race chassis Thunderkarts, endurance races can be in teams or as individuals. Strategy plays a major part of the race, driver changes, fuel stops, driver order. The winner is the individual or team who has completed the most laps within the race duration.

Our circuit capacity is limited to 15 karts and a minimum of 10 karts are required for exclusivity
Drivers must be 15 years or over (younger drivers will need proof of age)

We can run open grids and we'll help make up the driver numbers with you if your numbers are less than the 10 required for track exclusivity. You can join in and still kart with us.

Tuition

£95 for 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 techniques, 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.
