FAQs

All of our tracks are indoors, so you don’t need to worry about the rain! But you should wear what is right for the temperature on the day. If it is hot outside, it will be hot inside our tracks. So wear shorts and t-shirts.  If it is cold outside, it will be cold inside our tracks. So wear jeans and a hoody.

You will be given race suits to wear over the top of what you are wearing. Please ensure you are wearing closed toe shoes. Trainers are ideal. NO Ballet slippers, heels or flip flops.

All Under 16 karting customers must be accompanied by a responsible adult who is over the age of 18 and who will stay with the Under 16 for the duration of the event.

The adult does not need to race with the Under 16, but the Under 16 will not be permitted to race unless they have a responsible adult with them who can stay at the venue for the duration of the event.

You don’t need a driver’s licence to drive a go kart!…We will give everyone a full race briefing before you get in the karts and then once you are in the karts, run through some safety checks to ensure you are confident to race!

For adult events, drivers must be over 16. For children’s/family events, all drivers need to be a minimum of 8 years old and over 125cm tall to race.
At Birmingham (City) all drivers must be a minimum of 8 years old and over 147cm tall.
For “Bambino” events (only available at York) drivers must be 4-8 years old.

There isn’t a specific limit on our karts. However, if you are particularly tall or heavy, driving may be uncomfortable. Though there is no hard and fast rule, anyone over 6 foot 4 or over 17 stone may find it a bit uncomfortable. We are happy for people to come down and get fitted in the karts, before their event to avoid embarrassment

There is no minimum number to book into any of our Open sessions.
