Overview:
There's nothing quite like a good karting session to get you and the rest of the group in the mood for plenty of wisecracks and banter. The competitive nature of the event gets everyone in high spirits, and provides a great adrenaline rush. It'll provide a chance for those in the group who don't know each other too well to bond and get to know one another - which is a successful recipe for an epic day out!

The Track
This superb venue provides a 550 metre track demanding enough to test all drivers yet still offering plenty of overtaking opportunities. The tarmac is 6.5m wide at all points with 3m grass runoffs on both sides and incorporates eight bends, three of which are taken at high speed. A special type of blacktop, which does not soften in the heat of summer, has been used in order to provide maximum grip and fast lap times. Concrete curbs and 2 metre wide rumble strips also enhance the racing experience.

The Karts
The karts are JB Revolution pro-karts with twin Honda GX160 four stroke engines of 5.5Hp each. Gearing is set to give a top speed of 50mph, although if the track were longer they could accelerate up to 70mph plus.  That’s pretty quick when your bum is only a few inches off the deck.

The Race
The endurance race format is a team event (generally 2-3 to a team). The object being to cover the greatest number of laps in the allotted time.  Each driver spends approximately 25 minutes at the wheel (including 5 minutes practice), which means that in teams of three the race itself will be one hour long. All teams are on the track at the same time so overtaking, pit stops and strategy play a huge part in determining the eventual winner. A display screen near the pits keeps everyone up to date on the leaders and slowcoaches.

Notes
Minimum group size is 10 people

 

Overview
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.

This track features both indoor and outdoor sections, so it's a full-on karting experience where different weather conditions require true skills to master. So suit up, strap in, grab the wheel and unleash the speed demon inside!

Format
Each driver is going to get ten practice laps, before competing in two 20 lap heats.
After these heats, the top 5 timed drivers will go into a nail-biting 5 lap final to determine the overall winner.

Duration
Allow approximately 1.5-2 hours for this event, depending on group size.

Notes
This event can be combined with other activities such as clay shooting, zorbing or tank driving at the same site.

Event Overview:
The karting grand prix is the staple diet of most stag dos and group events – and for good reason. The grand prix event provides excellent value for money and never fails to entertain, however many times you have done it. The venue has electronic lap timing to enhance each race and ramp up the competition element. If you fail to win the race you can always get as much satisfaction by setting the fastest lap time

Overview:
Clench your fists and grit your teeth, it's competition time. Any red-blooded male worth his salt will be itching to get behind the wheel and show his teammates that when it comes to burning rubber, he's a steaming mean, speeding skidmark machine. Wait... No. Not like that.

This Iron Man race will sort out the men from the boys. Split into 2 teams, you'll take it in turns to smash up this cool outdoor track. Once you arrive, you'll choose your teams, get yourself geared up in the full safety helmet and overalls, then it's time to get your game face on, and steel your nerves. Each team will battle it out on the track, racing to compete in single-engine karts for the title of IronMan King

Format:
- 10 min practice, then the 30 min race begins before swapping over.
(Groups can choose if they'd rather swap over every 15 mins)

Duration:
 - Please allow a full hour for the event.

Note:
 - You can upgrade to a faster twin engine kart for an extra fee per person. Please ask for details.
