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

Get behind the wheel of a RT8 390 cc kart, which reaches speeds of up to 70 mph (and believe us - that feels 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's scorers go on to take part in the grand final, followed by a trophy presentation for the top three drivers.
