Outdoor or indoor?
Outdoor circuits give you length, higher speeds and usually petrol karts, which most drivers find more involving. The trade is the weather: sessions run in the rain, and that is either the best part of the day or the end of it depending on the group.
If you are booking for younger children or a work group in suits, indoor is the safer call.
Common questions
Do outdoor tracks near Bristol run in winter?
Most do, year round and often floodlit. Karts run in the wet; it is the drivers who need warm clothes.
Are outdoor karts faster?
Generally yes. Outdoor circuits are longer with more room, and petrol karts carry more top speed than the electric fleets most indoor venues run.
What should we wear?
Clothes you do not mind getting dirty, and trainers rather than open shoes. Venues supply suits, helmets and gloves.
