The Experience
Karting has long been the schooling ground of many of the worlds famous motor racing drivers. These sessions maximise your fun and will give you a real chance to burn rubber! All of the locations guarantee to challenge any wannabe boy racer, some have long high-speed straights, others twisting chicanes to make you screech, one circuit even has the longest track flyover in the UK. Once on the track you'll need to think about cornering, clipping the apex and knowing when to brake. As you complete your laps your confidence will grow and you'll soon be thinking you could be the next Schumacher.
