About ELK Motorsport

ELK Motorsport runs a long outdoor circuit at Winthorpe, just north of Newark and close to the A1 and A46. It positions itself as serving Nottingham, Lincoln and Newark, which is fair — it sits roughly in the middle of all three.

The Circuit

The circuit runs to 1,200 metres outdoors, which puts it among the longer hire-kart tracks in the country. Most leisure circuits are half that, and the extra distance changes what a session feels like: there is room to build a lap, use slipstreams and plan an overtake rather than lunge for one.

The venue is associated with twin-engine karting. Exact kart specifications and top speeds were not published at the time of writing, so we have not listed any.

Who Should Visit

Minimum ages and heights were not published at the time of writing, so check directly before booking for children.

A 1,200-metre outdoor lap suits drivers who want a proper race and groups running longer formats more than it suits a quick ten-minute blast. For corporate days and organised group racing in the Newark, Lincoln and Nottingham triangle it is a strong option.

Planning Your Visit

The circuit is at Drove Lane, Winthorpe, Newark NG24 2RB, just off the A1 and A46 north of Newark.

Prices, session formats and opening hours were not published in full at the time of writing, so confirm all three when you book. As an outdoor circuit it is worth checking conditions before travelling in poor weather.
