“I absolutely love this track and everything about it, the karts are well maintained, track is fun and technical, I highly recommend it to everyone even if you arenβt a karter! Only bad thing is that sometimes a Marshall will for some reason not hesitate to hold a warning board⦔
“Even though our group dwindled to 9 from what was supposed to be 16, the track was really enjoyable. The staff were lovely and welcoming, everyone in our group commented how much fun they had, the price was really good value compared to many other karting establishments⦔
“Good experience last Thursday. The karts are well mantained and have even performance. The event is well run. They have a maximum of 10-12 karts at a time which is great as they make sure the track is not rammed as they do in other karting places. The track is on the narrow side⦔
