Within 45 miles of Bristol there are 6 indoor venues and 5 outdoor circuits. Indoor tracks run whatever the weather, which makes them the safer choice for a booking made weeks ahead. Outdoor circuits are generally longer and faster, and reward a driver who wants to build a lap rather than snatch one.
The longest circuit near Bristol is Llandow Kart Circuit at 850m, 38.9 miles out.
Of the 11 venues within reach of Bristol, 0 run electric karts and 10 run petrol. Electric karts are quieter and produce no fumes, which matters in an enclosed building, and deliver their power instantly. Petrol karts are louder and generally faster at the top end, which is why most of the longer outdoor circuits still use them.
Whichever you pick, book ahead — weekend and evening slots at the Bristol venues go days in advance — and arrive about 15 minutes early, as safety briefings are compulsory and latecomers can lose their session. Race suits and helmets are provided everywhere; bring flat shoes and tie long hair back.
