About TeamSport Birmingham

TeamSport's Oldbury venue, marketed as TeamSport Birmingham, sits on the Park Lane Industrial Estate a few minutes from junction 2 of the M5. Its calling card is vertical: the circuit climbs and drops across multiple levels, and TeamSport describes the ramp here as the longest elevated section of track in the UK. Whether or not that superlative holds nationally, the effect on the floor is real — you spend a lot of the lap either hauling a kart uphill or carrying speed back down, which makes it feel very different from a flat leisure track. The venue runs an electric fleet, and there's a Laser Combat arena under the same roof, so a visit can be karting, laser tag, or both.

The Circuit

The layout runs to around 1,000 metres with 13 bends, mixing long straights that let the karts stretch their legs with the elevation changes that define the place. TeamSport lists the current karts as electric Biz Eco Volt GT machines quoted at up to 45mph; the instant pull suits the uphill sections, where a petrol kart would bog down. Because the track is genuinely long for an indoor circuit, sessions can run as proper timed races rather than a quick blast of laps, and reading the gradient — knowing where to brake before a drop and where to get on the power out of a climb — matters as much as hitting the apex.

Who Should Visit

Racing is open from age 8, with a junior format for younger drivers and adult sessions above that, so it works for mixed-ability groups and family outings as well as experienced karters chasing a fast time. No kit or experience is needed — helmets and race suits are provided, and staff brief you before you go out.

The site is set up for occasions: corporate and team-building days, stag and hen groups, and birthday parties are all catered for, and the on-site Laser Combat arena — indoor and outdoor sections with ramps, a sniper tower and mazes — gives non-drivers or younger kids something to do alongside the karting. For a big group wanting two activities in one trip, that combination is the main draw.

Planning Your Visit

You'll find the venue at Park Lane Industrial Estate, Park Lane, Oldbury (B69 4JX), with free on-site parking and easy access from the M5. It is fully indoor, so weather never affects a booking — a useful thing when you're coordinating a group months ahead.

There's a trackside Fuel Bar for spectators, plus food such as burgers, pizzas and hot dogs, pool tables and arcade machines, so the venue holds up as a half-day out rather than just a race and leave. Note the lower level is wheelchair accessible but the elevated sections are not.

Prices sit in the mid range for UK karting, and TeamSport routinely discount advance online bookings, so it pays to book ahead — especially for weekends and group dates. Confirm current session times and rates with the venue before travelling, as they change through the year.
