  • About

    This fantastic outdoor circuit is where a lot of top Formula 1 drivers, including Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button, first got into racing before being lured away by big bucks. You'll be behind the wheel of a Pro 390cc Kart, which reaches speeds of up to 70 mph (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 drive against the other participants in a thirty minute endurance race that is ideal for novices and experts alike. Every driver receives 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?

    • An evening racing go-karts on an outdoor circuit
    • Speeds of up to 70mph in a Pro 390cc kart
    • Practice laps then a thirty minute endurance race
    • Trophies for the top three racers of the day

    Availability

    One event is held every month, generally on a Monday evening but alternatively (and very occasionally) on a Sunday evening.

    Participant Guidelines

    Minimum age is 16. Drivers don't need a driving licence or any driving experience. Minimum height is 5', maximum height is 6'4''. Maximum weight 18 stone.

    Weather

    Racing might be cancelled or curtailed in extreme weather conditions (i.e. ice or snow) which would make driving at high speed dangerous. You'll be contacted if your experience is cancelled. Unused laps will be credited for another visit.

    Duration

    The event lasts for two to three hours, with 30 minutes driving time. Safety rules dictate that if you miss any of your initial briefing you cannot take part so please don't be late.

    Numbers On Day

    There will be up to 35 drivers taking part.

    Spectators

    Spectators are welcome. The venue has state-of-the-art clubhouse facilities serving hot and cold food and it also offers excellent viewing areas.

    Dress Code

    Wear trainers or similar flat shoes. A clean helmet, balaclava, competition-style race suit, gloves and rib protectors will be provided.

    Other Info

    Don't drink any alcohol for a minimum of 12 hours before your experience - if you do, you won't be allowed to take part. After the event has finished, you are free to relax in the on-site bar.

    Well on arriving at the track it was damp but dry weather watching other on the track knowing well I'd be out there shortly, after checking in and waiting about for awhile then getting kitted up and ready to go, had the breifing and walking out only to find the sky's opened up the rain falling but we were not put off! It all went great pratice then the race began, the rain got harder the overalls got wetter but not put off as the race went on and the fun was super! Would really tell anyone to have a go at Karting at Buckmore it's one hell of a fun time made very welcome and great place for the fun and thrills of getting near to a full on race. BRILL FUN.

    Brilliant!

    I was surprised to how long we got in the karts. I have never experienced such a long and amazing karting experience. Qualifying and then a half hour race. I'm addicted. It was more than I ever expected. Well done Red Letter Days!

    Amazing, Amazing, Amazing!

    Well where do I start, service was great. The Buckmore Park track is by far the best track in England, maybe Europe. I ended up karting in the dark which was a strange experience but I really enjoyed it. The length of time on the track was about right and the buzz is amazing. I really wanna do it again. Can't wait to get back on the track! All in all 10 out of 10.

    A Great Night I Will Never Forget

    Wow what a night, a most enjoyable night for someone who has always wanted to have a go at a motor sport. All members of staff were well trained and made me feel confident for the evening.
