It's a nice experience but time flies so quickly.!

We took Charlie to Daytona Milton Keynes today and had a really good experience. We accidentally booked the wrong session, so he ended up on the smaller track. He still had plenty of fun and the staff were friendly and welcoming. As Charlie already has racing experience, the smaller track was a little too easy for him and not quite the challenge he was after, but that was our mistake when booking rather than the venue. He’s already excited to come back, try the bigger track and hopefully enter a race or two. Overall, a great experience and we’ll definitely be returning.

My son started karting here about six months ago, and he has really enjoyed the experience. The staff are friendly and helpful, which makes a big difference. However, from a parent’s perspective, there are still a few areas where the organisation and arrangements could be improved.

NOT RECOMMENDED FOR BEGINNERS This was my first time karting and I arrived with positive vibes, excited to learn and enjoy. Unfortunately, the experience turned out very disappointing. Only about 5 minutes into a 20-minute practice session, I was removed from the track because they claimed I almost hit one of the marshals, which is completely false. I was simply learning the track and did spin out a few times, needing some help getting back on track, but I never came close to anyone. Instead of giving me guidance or another chance, they ended my session abruptly. It felt unfair and left a bad impression, especially for a first-time visitor. Would not recommend for beginners — better communication and fairer treatment would make a big difference. I also checked with the people there, the kart number would be shown on the board if needed to go into the pit. My kart number was NEVER on the board!

The staff here are very caring and professional, and the food is good. The facilities are okay, and the karts are fast (DMAX) with a nice track layout. However, the experience was completely ruined by the way rules and flags are enforced. On the day I went with a friend, there were several semi-pro racers present, and they were clearly given special treatment. Yellow flags meant nothing to them, they continued overtaking and driving at full racing speed. This is easy to prove by looking at the lap times: their average laps were quicker than most people’s best laps, despite numerous yellow flags. Meanwhile, I was given a black flag for an “unsafe release.” When I questioned this in the pit lane and explained that I had helmet camera footage proving I looked before re-joining and that the collision was caused by one of the semi-pros charging through at racing speed under yellow, the marshal just shrugged it off with “don’t shoot the messenger, I’m going by what the other marshal said.” I even caught the incident on video: I checked my left, the lane was clear, I exited safely, and then a semi-pro driver came flying at me without lifting, hit me, and then apologised (clearly knowing he was at fault). Instead of fair racing, it feels like the rules only apply to casual drivers while the “regulars” or semi-pros get free rein to do as they please. Sadly, this ruined my first visit to the track. It’s disappointing to see people acting like wannabe F1 drivers, with marshals enabling it. A lame and embarrassing experience overall.
