Reviews
Great place. Came here for a friend’s 30th and given the current situation everything was really well done and planned. Definitely great fun although not the fastest circuit I’ve raced at but definitely value for money.

One of the best outdoor karting circuits in the area. Staff are friendly and helpful and there are Marshall’s around the track to ensure participant safety. Equipment such as overalls and helmets are provided in the cost of the activity but balaclavas and gloves must be purchased separately for a small fee. Thus circuit is available in multiple configurations depending on the event you are taking part in. Lots of events need to be booked in advance but they do offer arrive and drive sessions. We took part in a Grand Prix event which needs a minimum of 8 people and ours was 4 practice laps, 4 qualifying laps and a 45 lap race with trophies awarded for 1st 2nd and 3rd place. They also provided lap reports for each individual detailing laps completed, fastest lap and each lap time as well as a race overview showing position changes throughout the race. By no means a cheap activity but plenty of smiles to the pound and great fun.
