Go Karting in Leicester — Venues & What to Expect

Leicester has two karting options serving the city and Leicestershire — TeamSport Leicester for indoor electric racing, and Sutton Circuit for those seeking a more traditional petrol karting experience. Together they cover the full range of what the region has to offer.

TeamSport Leicester is the main indoor option — consistent, all-weather, and suitable for all abilities from complete beginners to experienced racers. It's the dominant choice for corporate events, birthday parties, and stag bookings from the city. Sutton Circuit offers a different experience — outdoor petrol karts on a more technical layout for those who want the authentic sound and feel of traditional karting.

Leicester's central Midlands location makes it a practical draw for groups coming from Coventry, Nottingham, Derby, and Northampton — the M1, M69, and A46 converge near the city, giving good road access from multiple directions.

Prices: TeamSport Leicester sessions start from around £28–£38. Sutton Circuit rates vary — check the venue page for current pricing and session availability.

Tracks in and around Leicester

Indoor or Outdoor?

Within 25 miles of Leicester there are 2 indoor venues and 4 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 Leicester is Daytona Tamworth at 1000m, 21.0 miles out.

Electric or Petrol Karts?

Of the 6 venues within reach of Leicester, 1 run electric karts and 5 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.

Which track near Leicester?

Whichever you pick, book ahead — weekend and evening slots at the Leicester 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.
