About

In these days of touchy-feely fairness, it's not often you get to unleash your competitive side. So try karting for an evening of fast and furiously competitive fun. This fantastic outdoor circuit is where a lot of top F1 drivers, including Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button, first got into racing before being lured away by the big bucks. You'll be behind the wheel of a Pro 390cc Kart, which reaches speeds of up to 70mph (and believe us, that will feel twice as fast in a kart). Start off with a video and safety briefing, followed by ten minutes of practice laps to get used to the karts and the 1,200m outdoor international circuit. Then it's time for you to pit your driving skills against the other participants in a thirty minute endurance race that is ideal for novices and experts alike. Every driver will receive printed lap times and there is a trophy presentation for the top three drivers. Do you have the competitive edge to cross the finish line first?
