About TeamSport Leicester

Set on New Star Road just north of the city centre, TeamSport Leicester is an indoor petrol venue built around a 500m circuit that climbs across two levels. It is one of TeamSport's larger East Midlands sites, and the layout gives it real presence indoors — you race up ramps and over a flyover rather than round a flat single-storey loop. TeamSport bill it as a track with "wild bends, long straights and jaw-dropping ramps," and while that is marketing language, the two-tier design genuinely does more than most warehouse circuits of this size. It carries a strong 4.5-star Google rating across more than 1,700 reviews.

The Circuit

The 500m course runs on petrol karts rather than electric, so you get the noise and vibration that many drivers still prefer indoors. Adult sessions use TeamSport's 200cc rental karts, which the venue and independent listings quote at a top speed of around 40mph — quick for an enclosed track. The circuit mixes hairpins with the elevation change of the flyover and ramp sections, so momentum and gear-less throttle control matter more than raw bravery. Junior drivers get smaller cadet karts scaled to the same layout. It is rated beginner to intermediate: newcomers settle in quickly, but the ramps reward a driver who keeps the kart smooth.

Who Should Visit

This is a solid choice for mixed groups, birthdays and corporate days rather than a serious owner-driver crowd. From age 8 upwards no experience or kit is needed — helmets and race suits are provided, and you arrive and drive. Families get a useful bonus here: the site includes a nine-hole, motorsport-themed "Putt Club" crazy golf course, so a group can split racing and mini-golf across a longer visit. The indoor format also means a stag or hen party is not at the mercy of the weather.

Planning Your Visit

TeamSport Leicester is at Unit 8a, 2 New Star Road, Leicester LE4 9JD, with free on-site parking. If you are travelling by public transport, the number 21 bus stops on Thurmaston Lane about a five-minute walk away, and Leicester railway station is roughly a 20-minute taxi ride from the city centre.

Hot food, drinks and spectator areas are on site, and between the karting and the crazy golf many groups make an afternoon or evening of it.
