About PF International (PFI)

PF International (PFI), located near Grantham in Lincolnshire, is one of the longest and most serious karting venues in the UK. At 1382 metres, it operates at a scale that most karting centres simply cannot match — attracting everyone from competitive club racers through to corporate groups who want a genuinely impressive backdrop for their event. Petrol karts provide the authentic sound, smell and physical feedback of real motorsport — the kind of driving feel that electric venues cannot replicate. The venue is particularly noted for UK's largest circuit, International standard and Owner driver sessions. Rated 4.8 out of 5 by 452 Google reviewers, it is among the most positively reviewed karting venues in Lincolnshire.

The Circuit

Stretching 1382 metres, the circuit at PF International (PFI) belongs in the same conversation as the UK's serious motorsport venues. Petrol karts reach genuine high speeds across the longer straights, and the layout provides multiple opportunities to overtake — something that shorter circuits simply cannot offer. The track is rated advanced, which means it rewards proper racecraft: late braking, trail-braking into slower corners, and consistent lap times across a full race distance rather than a single flying lap. Minimum age of 17+ applies, reflecting the serious nature of the venue.

Who Should Visit

Corporate groups are one of PF International (PFI)'s core markets. Dedicated event packages can include exclusive track hire, professional race management, timing and results, and catering options. Go karting consistently ranks among the most popular team-building activities in the UK, and PF International (PFI)'s facilities support a professionally run event for groups of any size.

Competitive drivers and club racers will find owner driver sessions and championship racing formats available here. The advanced difficulty rating and 1382m track length make PF International (PFI) a venue that serious racers return to regularly, not just visit once.
