KEY POINTS
- Trackdays offers a range of go-karting experience vouchers to book at venues across the UK
- Go-karting is where many of today's most recognisable British and international championship winning racing drivers started their career
- Karting experiences can be an affordable and enjoyable way for young racing enthusiasts to break into motor racing
One of the fastest growing range of driving experience vouchers we now offer on Trackdays is our collection of Go Karting Experiences. However, what many people may not realise is that for many of today's most renowned racing driver superstars, time spent racing go-karts in their younger years is what set them on the path to global recognition.
And if you've got a young F1 or motor racing fan who's showing signs of wanting to be in pole position at Silverstone, Monte Carlo or Spa-Francorchamps when they grow up, then one of our go-karting packages could be the first milestone they take towards making their dreams come true…
- Is Go Karting A Budget Friendly Experience?
Surprisingly, yes it is. And in fact, our introductory 15 Minute Karting Session experience, hosted at Kart Kingdom in South Wales, is a perfect example of this. For starters, this session is at a very affordable price point of under £20, but there are also 30 Minute and 45 Minute sessions which those as young as 16 years old can book at this same venue, which won't set you back more than £50.
The purpose built venue was only opened just last year, but their state-of-the-art indoor facilities offer top of the line petrol fuelled karts, as well as the latest technology such as onboard cameras, steering wheel displays, and even a virtual safety car system.
So not only is the session good value for money, but it also offers a no-risk way to try out karting in a relaxed and dedicated environment. Plus, after your first session, you'll create a racing profile using their in-house app to track your progress, and where you can access your previous session data again if you - hopefully - decide to come back for another race!
- Are There Outdoor Karting Experiences Near Me?
Of course, as most major motorsport series and championships take place outdoors, it makes sense to want to book on for a karting session at an outdoor track, which captures the excitement, energy and atmosphere of a real race circuit.
Our Grand Prix Outdoor Karting Experience voucher does exactly what it says on the tin in that respect. Not least of all because it's at one of the UK's most prestigious racing circuits, Castle Combe in Wiltshire. And for just under £70, those aged 15 and up can look forward to hitting a 350 meter circuit layout in a 200cc Stratos Kartpro, one of the most dynamic and nimble karts around to see if they can emerge as karting champion!
The circuit regularly hosts Kart Grand Prix tournaments on Saturday afternoons, and is accommodating for both solo racers and groups, with experienced instructors on hand to offer guidance and also ensure everything runs smoothly and fairly.
- Where Can I Go On An Advanced Karting Experience?
If, after initial sessions, your young motorist has really caught the racing bug, then the next logical step is to book them on for more advanced karting sessions. And there are plenty of great locations around the UK that offer the chance to take their karting technique and stamina to the next level.
Hosted at Rye House Raceway, a superb karting track on the outskirts of Hoddesdon in Hertfordshire (and very easily reachable from Central London) where no less a name than Lewis Hamilton started his career, our 2 Driver Super 90 Karting Race voucher will give those as young as 16 years old and a friend or family member the opportunity to progress their racing further for just £155.
Rye House is also an officially recognised karting club by the MSA (Motorsport Association), and over the course of your 90 minute long session, you'll both focus on developing your endurance whilst racing against as many as 26 other karts on the track, as you take the wheel of a 160cc Twin Engine EVO Kart out on the full GP circuit layout. Will you have the perseverance and grit to emerge as a champion?
- The Racing Journey Starts Here
All of these Karting Experience vouchers and many more besides will offer the perfect introduction to those dreaming of podium glory, with something for every stage of their progress.
When they're old enough, they can also take this experience and skills set forward to one of our Racing Car Driving Experiences. And just maybe, in years from now, it could be them that's winning the British Grand Prix…!
