The simple answer, yes. The Karts are left on slick tyres all the time, so drivers do need to drive to the conditions, but if the rain is torrential, or the track suffers from flooding, we stop running on the grounds of safety. If this is likely to affect any bookings, we will notify you as soon as possible. As you can imagine due to the British weather in the last couple years we have adapted well to running in the rain!

This all depends on how much track time you have booked. Typically, for 30 minutes of Karting, you can expect to be here for around 1hour. A SuperSprint 30, is around 45 minutes, and a standard Grand Prix based on 11 drivers is around 1 hour 30mins.

We also ask everyone to arrive 30 minutes before their start time to ensure we have plenty of time to get you ready for your time on track! What you pay for is exactly what you get on track!

For more detailed event lengths, please call 01963 400591.

Comfortable clothing and shoes, no open toe shoes like flip-flops or sandals. We provide overalls (waterproof overalls if raining) which will cover your clothes. Scarves aren’t allowed to be worn whilst Karting, but can be left in the changing room. If the weather is really wet, a spare change of clothes is advisable, as our waterproof overalls do a very good of keeping most of the water out, but are not 100% water tight!

We also ask anyone with long hair to please either tie it up or to tuck it into your overalls.

Yes, as long as the helmet conforms to British Standard BS6658:1985 and carry the BSI Kitemark, which is standard for motorcycle helmets. Motocross helmets can be worn, as long as they also conform to the above, and must be worn with googles.

Your own balaclavas can be provided if you have them.

Yes, there are quite a few viewing points around the track.

If, for instance, you book for 15 drivers and only 10 drivers turn up, we will still charge you in full for the 15 drivers that you have booked, unless we are notified of any changes at least 7 days prior to the booking date. We have allowed enough time in the diary for your larger group, and have now lost vital booking time if less drivers turn up. This is clearly stated in your booking confirmation when a booking is made.

If all adults, 10 Karts are the maximum on track. If younger children, we tend to keep the groups smaller but can have 7/8 children on track together depending on driving ability.

Potentially, yes. Depending on group sizes, as we wouldn’t usually mix groups of adults with groups of children, unless they are all in the same family group. At peak times, there is a chance that children will go on with other adults, but we aim to get groups of similar ability drivers together.

We have a small selection of cold drinks available at the Karting Reception, but a larger range of hot & cold food and drinks are available from Cafe 750 at the Haynes Motor Museum, right next door.

18 stone / 114kg is the maximum permitted driver weight. This is for safety of all drivers on track, not just the individual. We don’t have an official maximum height, but as the seats are non movable, anyone that is taller than 6’4″ / 6’5″ may by uncomfortable and is advisable to visit the track for a test fit before your event.

At least 30 minutes prior to your event booking time. This allows us to get every driver signed in, fully kitted and safety briefed before starting on track. The time slot you book, is your on track start time.

If drivers are late, and we have a fully booked day, there may be a chance that we can’t get you on track as our bookings are back-to-back. No refunds can be issued for late arrivals.

We do have twin seater Karts available for passengers if your disability or medical condition limits you from being able to safely control a Kart. Twin seater Karts can not participate in any race events, only the standard Karting Sessions. It is advisable to call before your visit to discuss with a member of the team.

Although we advise against it, action cameras can be worn on a helmet, as long as securely attached but any other fitments i.e chest mount, wrist strap etc. aren’t allowed.

Currently, no. But hopefully in the future, this is something we can offer.

Yes, we share the car park with Haynes Motor Museum, and there is ample parking for all vehicle sizes. If the front car park is full, please use the overflow car park at the rear of the museum.

Yes they are, but we advise a short lead for dogs and to be kept on the lead and under control at all times.

Yes, everywhere except the changing room, as this has a small step to get into.
