Tracks in and around Sheffield

All 17 tracks within 35 miles are compared side by side in the table above.

Indoor or Outdoor?

Within 35 miles of Sheffield there are 14 indoor venues and 3 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 Sheffield is ELK Motorsport at 1200m, 34.0 miles out.

Electric or Petrol Karts?

Of the 17 venues within reach of Sheffield, 4 run electric karts and 11 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 Sheffield?

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