First time karting and I loved it. Staff were laid back but professional , got a good safety brief and pretty much let us go at our own pace. 2 x 15 minute races which might seem short but is plenty. Wear an old t shirt as the suit you wear rubs against your clothes and can damage slightly. Will be back next time I'm on the island.

My son enjoyed his first visit here yesterday, improving his lap time by over 14 seconds. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating. Despite a couple of late arrivals, it was well organised and most importantly the focus on driver safety and instruction was excellent. We hope to return on our next trip to do a Junior Track Day (or two!).

What a great set up.!! Kids had a blast. So well run, lots of staff, felt really safe etc. The owner was so lovely and lent my daughter some suitable shoes as we were on the isle on holiday in the heatwave and didn’t have trainers. There is a great little cafe and a nice decking area to watch the racing. There are screens up in the seating area so everyone can see their position and race times after the session. Definitely worth a visit!!
