Newquay Karting

There's nothing quite like a bit of head-to-head rivalry with your mates. They say that nice guys come last, so the question is: do you have the competitive instinct and controlled aggression needed to finish first? Or are you happy to look down the tailpipe of your pal as he passes the chequered flag? No one wants that on their record for future pub banter.

Forget about speed limits and points on your licence, put your foot to the floor and burn rubber around the one of the city's great karting tracks. Karting was made for large groups and whether you are racing individually or in teams everyone’s eyes will be on the leader board to see who’s on top.

So suit up, strap in, grab the wheel and unleash the speed demon inside!

Go Kart Racing - F1 Experience

Event Overview
Your mate may be preparing to settle down with the girl of his dreams for the rest of his days, but that’s no reason why he can’t spend at least one afternoon acting like Eddie Irvine. This centre has the longest track and fastest karts in the southwest, giving you the closest thing to Formula One without an irritating German in front of you. It's a great opportunity to inject some high-octane competition into the weekend, which'll help the less-acquainted members of the group get to know each other.
Sit down, strap in, grab the throttle and rock out.

The Track
The 1.2km track comprises of a tricky misshaped corner, two chicanes, a very rapid curve leading to a sweeping corner that will have your heart in your mouth and an s section.

The Karts
Biz LeMonde Honda twin engined pro karts producing a bottom-clenching top speed of 70mph.

The Race Format
After arriving you will have a safety briefing, then be divided up for your sessions. The arrive and drive operates in 15 minute slots. You will begin your race with a lap behind the pace car, with 30 drivers to a race. The first few laps should be used to test your handling of the car and warm the tires and brakes up before you really put your toe down.

For those doing more than one slot, you will race in alternate slots to give you a much needed break between races. 30 min racetime overall.

Notes
Race suits, helmets and gloves are all included
Cafeteria on site selling light refreshments, drinks and (if you're lucky) bacon butties
Computerised lap timing subject to availability.
