Reviews
We had a brilliant day at Ancaster.
Our karting sessions ran smoothly, the karts are decent although some are slightly faster/slower than others, but regardless, the track is mostly fast with only one tight corner and it gives a real impression of speed.
The only thing that ruffled my feathers was being charged PS2.50 for a small bottle of water. Piss take really, but someone’s gotta pay for the tacky Rolls Royce parked outside

We turned up with the intention just to look but ended up going out in a 2 seater kart great to be able to show and teach lines on the track to someone who had never driven a kart and the mock steering wheel helped to show how little you need to turn the steering wheel when driving . Clean and welcoming will be returning to try other activities
Andrew Cousins
Great place to come to. Very well organised. Lots of fun. A full afternoon of racing for PS60. We did 3 sessions with short break in between each session. You get a good 9 or 10 laps each time. Boiler suits and helmets provided. Fantastic outside race track. Highly recommended this place. Will come back soon.

Had an amazing time at the Ancaster today! The track was challenging yet fun even in the bad weather, and the karts were in excellent condition. Staff were friendly and professional, ensuring a safe and exciting experience, in particular Rob was a very enthusiastic receptionist and helped with all my queries. Definitely recommend it for anyone looking for some fast-paced fun! I’ll be back soon!
