Electric go karts for kids on our children's race track
Our electric go karts for kids are ideal for drivers not yet old enough to experience the thrill of the full international circuit.
The children's track
At 100 metres long and specially designed to be smooth and flowing, the children's track is easy to drive as well as a challenge for younger drivers. It is an ideal introduction to motorsport and a treat for the little ones.
The kids' race track is purpose built and dedicated to younger drivers, featuring a 25m straight, a hairpin corner and a smooth S bend. Fun, challenging and perfectly suited to first timers.
Electric kart parties
Make your child the talk of their class with our electric kart parties. Exclusive use of the junior circuit driving our fleet of Formula 1 electric karts, plus bounce until they drop on our racing bouncy castle. Your party is completed with our Pitstop Party Hut, with party music and disco lighting. Call us on 01708 863070 to find out more.
Safety first
Safety first. The children's electric race track was designed with driver welfare as a priority. It is lined with non snag barriers that absorb impact and deflect the karts, which is kinder on weak wrists and helps avoid bringing karts to a sudden stop, greatly reducing impact between karts. Fully trained safety marshals are trackside at all times.
Older children
From age 8, children move up to the 200cc cadet kart on the full circuit in a family session. Book junior arrive and drive online, or call 01708 863070 for parties.
Good to know
When should I arrive at the circuit?+
You will be given an arrival time when booking. For events this is 1 hour before your track time, for practice sessions 45 minutes beforehand. If you arrive after this time, even by 5 minutes, it may affect your time on the circuit. If you are more than 10 to 15 minutes late you may lose your slot altogether. If you are late you will not receive a refund under any circumstance.
Is there adequate car parking?+
Yes, there is plenty of free parking for all.
Do I need a driving licence or special licence to race?+
No. Many of our regular customers hold no licence at all. We provide full instruction, and all drivers must attend a safety briefing and view the National Karting Association safety video.
