Booking an Event Q&A
- How old do participants have to be: Drivers must be at least 16 years old and a minimum height of 1.5m.
- What is the difference between GP and Ultimate GP: GP events include 7 min Practice, 7 min Qualifying and a 10 min Final. Ultimate GP upgrades this to 8 min Practice, 10 min Qualifying and a 12 min Final for more track time and a bigger event feel.
- Will I race with my friends in an Open Event: Drivers from different groups will be mixed in open events, with Finals determined by qualifying results. Don’t be put off by this — watching your friends race adds to the experience.
- Are there any body size restrictions? If you have any concerns about height, weight, or body shape, we recommend visiting us to check comfort in a kart before booking. As a guide, drivers over 18 stone may wish to try this first, but fit can vary depending on body shape. Our team will be happy to help you find the best option.
- What if some participants don’t want to race? No problem — we offer an Escape Experience alongside the karting, giving non-drivers a fun and inclusive activity. They can also watch the final races and cheer on the winners.
- What if someone pulls out of an open event: We will provide a refund as long as we have a minimum of 24 hours notice before the booking.
- What if someone pulls out of an exclusive event: We will provide a refund as long as we have a minimum of 24 hours notice before the booking, as long as the minimum driver requirement is still met.
- Do I need a hygiene pack: All drivers must wear a hygiene pack if using our helmets, available for £4pp online or £5pp in centre. If you already have one, please bring it and reuse it.
- Can I reserve a date and time for an event: You can reserve your spaces online with a refundable £100 deposit.
