Reviews
not strict with rules – they won’t get mad if you skid or slide – wide track – great fun with all sorts for new people and professionals
Mackenzie Gash
Really great track (drove long version), staff are super friendly, karts are well kept and handle well, loved the lap times print-out at the end of each session, simple but nice touch. Easy to book (book at least the day before!) and hassle free briefing. And most importantly, safety standards super tight. Can’t wait for the next visit!
James Hayward
Fantastic experience, all the staff were really helpful and good, one standout in particular Rob was great. Looked after the whole party.
Ethan Greenhalf
Well looked after fleet of karts, very friendly and knowledgeable staff. A business that clearly invests in itself and actually cares about making customers happy rather than the bottom line.
