Electric or petrol
3 of these 4 run electric fleets and the rest are petrol. Electric is quieter and cleaner; petrol indoor circuits are louder and smell like racing. Around Newcastle you can have either, which is not true of most cities.
Some of these take drivers younger than eight, which is rarer than it sounds. Height matters as much as age: a 140cm rule stops plenty of eight-year-olds, so confirm it before booking.

What age can children start karting near Newcastle?

Are indoor karts near Newcastle electric or petrol?
3 of these 4 run electric fleets. Electric karts are quieter, fume-free and quick off the corner; petrol indoor circuits are louder and, to some drivers, more of an event.
How far will we actually travel?

Is indoor or outdoor better for a first time?
Indoor, usually. Shorter circuits, electric karts, a full briefing and no weather to contend with. Outdoor is the better day out once people have driven before.
What age can children start?
Eight at most indoor venues, though a few take younger drivers in junior karts, and some also set a minimum height. The table above lists each venue’s published minimum age.
Do we need to book in advance?
For a group, yes — indoor venues fill evenings and weekends well ahead, and December books up from October. One enquiry through this page reaches the tracks that can take your group.
