Our high spec cadet kart for younger drivers on the full international circuit.

Family Fun session karts are set to a maximum of 24mph, similar to indoor karting but more fun. Family Race session karts can reach speeds of up to 50mph, way faster and much more exciting than indoor karting.

All karts are fitted with an electronic safety system which can be operated by the race director at any time.

We haven't forgotten the youngest family members. With a simple one pedal on and off speed control, extra light steering, Formula 1 noises and real working brake lights, they are perfect fun for your little one.

The electric karts have space for mum or dad to sit with the youngest racers if they want to supervise, which makes them ideal for children's parties.

The fleet

For serious racers we run a fleet of 30 of the very latest class leading 390cc Sodikarts, designed and built specifically for our circuit and serviced and maintained to a meticulous standard. They are tested and tweaked to within four tenths of a second of each other. With full wraparound bumpers and inbuilt speed restriction units, they are the pinnacle of excitement and safety.

With electric fun karts for 3 to 7 year olds, 200cc cadets for 8 to 13 year olds, 200cc adult racers up to 50mph and 70mph 390cc racers for 14 and over, there is something for the whole family.

Which kart will I drive?

It goes by age and height. Drivers of 152 cm (5ft) and over take the 390cc senior kart, drivers between 122 and 151 cm (4ft to 4ft 11in) take the cadet kart in family sessions, and the electric karts run on their own children's track for 3 to 7 year olds. Family sessions mix cadet and senior karts so parents and children are on track together.
