Outdoor Endurance Karting
Overview
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. Get behind the wheel of a RT8 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 safety briefing, followed by ten minutes of practice laps to get used to the karts and the full 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?
