This evening racing kart session takes place on an outdoor circuit
RT8 390 cc karts can reach speeds of up to 70 mph!
Practise first then go for the 45 minute endurance race
Trophies await the top three racers

Kart at an amazing outdoor circuit where many a Formula 1 driver started out (including the likes of British drivers Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button). Start off with an essential safety briefing with other guests, followed by ten minutes of practise laps to get used to the karts and the full outdoor international circuit. Slide behind the wheel of a RT8 390 cc kart, a machine capable of reaching a speed of up to 70 mph. Then drive against the other participants in a 45 minute endurance race ideal for novice drivers and kart racing experts alike. Every driver receives printed lap times and the experience concludes with a trophy presentation for the top three drivers. Who dares wins!
