What you drive and who it suits

The fleet is 25 Birel N35 karts with Honda 270cc engines, reaching about 55mph on the longer circuit. There are two outdoor tracks: a 550m National circuit and a longer 1140m International circuit. No driving licence is needed, and the minimum age depends on the circuit and format - junior karting is offered for younger drivers while the faster International circuit has a higher minimum, so check the age limit for your session. Time Attack and Arrive & Drive sessions suit individuals or a couple of people who just want laps, while Grand Prix (heats, semis and a final with trophies), Sprints for groups and Endurance races give bigger parties a proper race format.
