Royal Ascot has its charm – the hats, the dresses, the polite clapping as a horse you didn’t bet on takes the win. But if you’re looking for something a bit more hands-on this summer, why sit back and watch when you could be in the driver’s seat? It’s time to trade your silks for a racing suit, and swap the manicured lawns for the adrenaline-fuelled karting track you’ll find at your nearest Teamworks Karting location. After all, why settle for watching horsepower when you can unleash your own?

Putting the Kart Before the Horse
Horses are majestic, sure. But when was the last time a horse did a perfect racing line through a chicane? Karts? They go exactly where you point them – fast. At Teamworks, our karts carve corners with surgical precision, letting you tackle every bend like a pro. They don’t get spooked, they don’t mind a little bumping, and they won’t nibble your handbag. No need for feed buckets or stables here – just suit up, buckle in, and let ’er rip.

Dress Code
Ascot’s dress code is basically an exam in millinery. For women, it’s no spaghetti straps, full-length skirts, “modest” necklines, and an entire fascinator balancing act. For men: suit, tie, polished shoes, and the vague but ever-looming fear of being turned away at the gate for “inappropriate cufflinks.” At Teamworks Karting, we keep things simple. You get a race suit and a helmet. Wear what you like underneath – we won’t judge. And let’s be honest: you look cooler in a racing helmet than you ever will in a top hat.

Bubbles
Let’s talk fizz. Yes, Royal Ascot has champagne. So does your nan’s anniversary party. At Teamworks, we serve something stronger: adrenaline, speed, and that unbeatable rush when the lights go green. That’s not to say we don’t appreciate a good drink – we’ve got an onsite bar, where you’re welcome to toast your victory – after the day’s racing is done. But the real thrill? It’s behind the wheel, not behind a flute of overpriced bubbly.

Spectator Sport
At Ascot, you stand. You clap politely. You squint. And if you’re lucky, you catch a fleeting glimpse of a horse-shaped blur. At Teamworks, you’re in the race. Every lap is yours to win, every driver a rival, every corner a chance to take the lead. Whether you’re going head-to-head in a Grand Prix format, racing the clock in a Karting 30 session, or getting the squad together for a Stag & Hen Karting Party, you’re not a bystander – you’re part of the action.

Booked and Blessed
Planning a day at Ascot involves spreadsheets: tickets, transport, outfits, lunch reservations, umbrellas (just in case), and endless WhatsApp group drama. At Teamworks, booking is as smooth as a perfectly timed overtake. Pick your date. Choose your race format. Get instant confirmation online. Done. No faffing, no dress codes, no hoping the trains aren’t on strike. Just you and your crew, locked in for a day of competitive, fast-paced fun that takes five minutes to plan.
