Stretton Circuit

About Stretton Circuit

Stretton Circuit is an outdoor track on Gartree Road at Great Stretton, just south-east of Leicester towards Oadby. It bills itself as Leicester's number one outdoor circuit, and it is certainly the closest outdoor option to the city — the indoor venues in Leicester itself are a different proposition entirely.

The Circuit

The circuit runs to 950 metres outdoors, which is a substantial lap by leisure-karting standards and nearly three times the length of a typical compact indoor track.

Kart specifications and top speeds were not published at the time of writing, so we have not listed any. The venue runs petrol karts.

Who Should Visit

Minimum ages and heights were not published, so check directly before booking for children.

At 950 metres the circuit rewards consistency across a full session rather than a single quick lap, which makes it a better fit for groups running proper race formats than for a five-minute novelty. For anyone in Leicester wanting outdoor rather than indoor karting, this is the nearest option.

Planning Your Visit

The circuit is on Gartree Road, Leicester LE2 2FG, south-east of the city near Oadby and Great Stretton.

Prices, session formats and opening hours were not published in full at the time of writing, so confirm when booking. As an outdoor circuit, check conditions before travelling in poor weather.
