The Karts:
The karts are fully automatic, which allows you to concentrate on your racing skills. A single hydraulic brake provides sufficient stopping power should you need it. No experience is needed to drive them.
All karts are modified for additional driver safety and protection with anti-flip bumpers, chain guard, axel guard, fuel tank cover and knee protectors.
The Track:
The tracks are designed to be enjoyed by all levels of driver, from the novice to Formula One stars. The emphasis is on fast flowing racing with an ideal mix of fast straights and testing corners. Much of the track is over 30' wide, which allows plenty of overtaking opportunities and makes it easy to avoid drivers who have spun out. Safety features are paramount at Scotkart and the track barrier system uses continuous plastic piping mounted onto tyres to act as an effective buffer if drivers lose control.
