Indoor or Outdoor?

There are 9 indoor venues and 4 outdoor circuits within 25 miles of London. Indoor venues run year-round regardless of weather and are ideal for first-timers, birthday parties and corporate groups. Outdoor circuits offer longer tracks and a more traditional motorsport experience.

Electric or Petrol Karts?

Of the 13 venues near London, 8 run electric karts and 5 use petrol. Electric karts are quieter, eco-friendly and require no helmet fumigation — they are the modern standard at most urban venues. Petrol karts deliver the authentic motorsport sound and smell that many enthusiasts prefer, and tend to be found at outdoor circuits.
