Race against family, friends or foes
An evening racing karts on an outdoor circuit
Speeds of up to 70mph in a RT8 390cc kart
Practice laps then quick-fire heats
Leading points scorers race for victory in the final event

You'll be behind the wheel of a RT8 390cc kart, which reaches speeds of up to 70 mph (and believe us, it will feel twice as fast in a kart). Start off with a safety briefing, followed by qualifying laps to get used to the karts and the full outdoor international circuit. Then let your competitive streak loose in three quick-fire race heats. The leading point scorers go on to take part in the grand final, followed by a trophy presentation for the top three drivers.

Key Info

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.
