Took my novice son to take part in the junior practice session which welcomes all skill levels to take part in together and he loved it. Everybody was respectful of each other and the width of the track provides safe overtakes between the different skill levels. All the protective gear is provided, including gloves, head sock, helmet and overalls. The staff were all very helpful and you get a great shaded view of the whole track from the clubhouse balcony upstairs

My son attended R2 of the Junior Pro Light Championship on Saturday and had an amazing time. Great karts, great atmosphere and very well organised. Clint and his team hosted the event and ensured fairness and safety through out. Very professional circuit with new karts, refurbished track and great catering. Can’t wait until R3. It truly is ‘The Heart of British Karting!’

We keep coming back to Buckmore Park because it genuinely feels like home for us. The circuit is fast and flowing, the karts are brilliant fun to drive, and everything is run with real care and professionalism. What really stands out is the marshalling — some of the best anywhere, always attentive and keeping the racing safe without getting in the way. It’s our favourite track for a reason.

We had a great day my sons enjoyed every minute from the simulator to the track. Only thing I could say is that one of the briefing staff was quite abrupt in the way he spoke to me. But apart from that it was a blast.
