Not a bad track but one of the racers crashed, and required an ambulance causing a stoppage to the race. The team were very unprofessional and didn’t follow safety regulations by dragging her out of the kart and removing the helmet, (very dangerous). We were then denied any form or reimbursement and not allowed to return another day to finish the race. £50 for half a race! Terrible customer care. I will not be returning and instead visit more professional venues.

Great little outdoor track, very helpful staff. All round good time. The prices are very reasonable and affordable. I highly recommend it to anyone. Much better than teamsport and a lot cheaper.
