No telling ‘pork pies’ to your mates about you being quicker than Schumacher - the proof will be on a big screen for all to see!
The Track:
The 375m indoor track features treacherous hairpin turns, sharp bends and long straights. The track layout has been designed to ensure an exciting but safe racing environment for all participants. The track is also 7m wide to ensure there are plenty of safe overtaking spots. The centre also boasts a Flyover/Tunnel section! This addition greatly adds to the overall excitement and overtaking opportunities.
The Karts:
This is the first track in the UK to use the new Rimo Evo 5 high performance karts, setting new standards of performance for indoor karting in the UK due to their unmatched race-like driving characteristics and performance. Incorporating a specially designed alloy frame for optimum handling, the Evo 5 karts feature a race tuned Honda GX 200cc engine and can reach speeds of up to 40 mph. These are used in the Michael/Ralf Shumacher centres in Germany and this is the only track in the UK to feature these fantastic karts.
