Brighton Karting

About Brighton Karting

Brighton Karting is an outdoor circuit at Albourne on the London Road, a few miles north of Brighton towards Hassocks. At 800 metres it is a proper outdoor track rather than a compact leisure loop, and it runs day and night sessions in all weather.

The Circuit

The circuit runs to 800 metres with a track width of 7 metres — width matters more than people expect, because it is the difference between racing and following. The venue quotes an average lap time of 43.99 seconds and an average speed of 42mph, which tells you it is a flowing layout rather than a stop-start one.

The kart fleet spans 120cc, 200cc and 270cc machines across different age groups, so drivers are matched to appropriate equipment rather than everyone running the same kart.

Who Should Visit

Juniors race from age 8 and adults from 15, with height requirements varying by kart category — worth checking before booking for a younger teenager.

The format list leans towards organised racing: 30-minute race experiences, corporate days, stag and hen events, championship rounds and private group bookings. Because it runs at night as well as during the day, it works for an evening event in a way most outdoor circuits cannot.

Planning Your Visit

The circuit is on London Road, Albourne, West Sussex BN6 9BQ. Phone 01273 834403 or email info@qleisure.co.uk.
