RaceWorld

About RaceWorld

RaceWorld is Exeter's indoor karting centre, tucked into Greendale Business Park just off the A3052 towards Sidmouth. It is one of the most highly rated karting venues in Devon — a 4.8-star average across well over a thousand Google reviews is exceptional for the sport — and it has built that reputation as much on serious racing as on casual fun. Alongside walk-in sessions it runs a busy competition calendar, from Hot Laps and open races to junior academies and the Devon Kart Club and Devon Business League, so it draws committed regulars as well as first-timers and stag parties.

The Circuit

The 400m layout is more interesting than most indoor tracks: it is multi-level, with a flyover bridge and fast flowing corners, and the operators have dressed it with greenery and trees to give something of an outdoor-autodrome feel under cover. The fleet is 200cc RiMO EVO 6 petrol karts capable of around 40mph — proper race-prepared machines rather than gentle leisure karts — which is why the venue is rated intermediate. Beginners are welcome, but the pace and the technical, quick-succession corners reward drivers who already have a feel for braking and racing lines.

Who Should Visit

This suits keen drivers and competitive groups particularly well. The standard karts need a minimum height of about 155cm (5ft 1in), with a cadet kart available from around 145cm, and the minimum age is 11 — so it is aimed at older children, teenagers and adults rather than young kids. Sessions range from a single practice run up to Sprint and Super Prix race formats, and corporate days come with proper race management, timing and printed results — plus a fully refurbished conference room that can be linked with the karting for meetings and team days. If you want a genuine race experience indoors, this is one of the strongest options in the South West; for very young children a venue with junior-focused sessions will fit better.

Planning Your Visit

RaceWorld is at Unit 4, Greendale Business Park, near Sidmouth just outside Exeter, Devon — postcode EX5 1EW. Being fully indoors, racing runs year-round whatever the weather, which makes it a dependable choice for booked events. Food and drink are available on site, so it is easy to build a session into a longer visit.

Pricing is mid-range for UK karting, with clearly tiered session types from practice up to the Super Prix. Booking ahead is strongly advised, particularly for weekends, race events and group bookings, and it is worth confirming current prices, session formats and the height requirements with the venue before you travel.
