Reviews
Around 10 of us came last night. Friendly staff and quite a large centre; track was brilliant – very long, lots of quick corners and a long straight. Even more fun in the torrential rain haha

1st day at ancaster karting
Will definitely be back again great track friendly service.

Karting was so much fun but be aware it can get very competitive on the track when there are groups of adults who know each other. My 14 year old grandson got very upset and came off track early because adults were very aggressive around him and even pushed him off the track at one point. We did report this to the officials who did warn the group that they needed to be mindful there are younger people on the track. Karts and facilities are really good though.
