Calling all petrol heads! Put those driving skills to the ultimate test with a high-octane outdoor Grand Prix karting experience in Hertfordshire. Start with an all-important safety briefing before donning official race wear and taking part in a 15 minute qualifying session to get used to the track and determine your grid position for the main event. After catching some breath, it's time for the real action to begin - tear around the challenging Rye House track in a speedy 360cc racing kart for up to 45 minutes and attempt to become ultimate champion! Afterwards, the day's winning top three drivers get a trophy, the winner gets a bottle of bubbly, and everyone gets an official lap printout. This really is as close as it comes to being a real F1 racer.
