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). The group are split into lightweights and heavyweights - done to ensure a level playing field, as driver weight makes a big difference in these little machines. Start off with a video and safety briefing, followed by qualifying laps to get used to the karts and the 1,200m outdoor international circuit. Then let your competitive streak loose in three quick-fire race heats. The leading points scorers go on to take part in the grand final, followed by a trophy presentation for the top three drivers.
