what to expect

Prepare for an adrenaline-pumping adventure! Our friendly team welcomes you warmly, and it’s time to gear up for the ultimate driving experience. First, you’ll suit up in your race gear and then gather in the briefing room. Here, you’ll dive into the action with an instructional video, a detailed track overview, and crucial instructions from our expert marshal.

Karts are assigned based on your height, not just your age or experience. Our vigilant marshals conduct a vital brake test in the pit lane to ensure safety. Once you pass the check, it’s time to rev your engine!

As the engines roar to life, you’ll hit the open track. You’ll navigate a challenging course with complex twists and turns, steadily honing your skills with each lap. Feel your confidence soar as you dive headfirst into the exhilarating world of karting!


ADULTS & OLDER KIDS

Attention, racers! We understand that sometimes, ‘you didn’t do anything wrong,’ but perhaps you could have. These sessions are tailor-made for our youngest drivers, novices, and groups with mixed age ranges, all seeking the thrill of a safe, fun, and friendly racing environment. The spotlight is on the younger speed demons here, and our marshals are dedicated to ensuring their skill development and safety.

It’s absolutely crucial that you maintain control and cruise at a sensible pace to keep the excitement flowing without causing any fret for our little racers. In a nutshell, treat every child on the track as if they were your own, or better yet, imagine you’re at their age, enjoying the same adventure.

Been here a few times, recently for a stag so (5 of us).What I do love is the yellow flag, everyone's kart drops. So many places you are told slow down under yellow, it's a respect thing for the Marshalls, not an excuse to overtake the faster person in front.Safety talk, to the point. The 270cc karts are good. Well covered with plastics. For a 100kg chap, they will pull up hill. You're never going to be quicker than a lighter person however.Will go back again because I want to do an 1&1/2 Enduro solo if they do another enduro

Been coming here once in a while for the past few years for championship rounds and the staff are always great, karts are some of the best rental karts I’ve been in for parity and suit the track perfectly. The track itself is also very unique. Whenever someone asks about trying outdoor karting I always recommend here.

An excellent place to hang out with your friends, and enter into a fierce competition proving your skills to drive the Kart...Even though it rained, the staff provided us with all the necessary equipment to be protected from the rain, we received the necessary information and demonstrated how professional they are. We enjoyed so much.Absolutely recommend with confidence

I cannot express enough, my gratitude to Joe (with his dry humour), Morgan and THE Big Boss, for getting my son and I on track in the 200cc karts on his very special birthday surprise, that nearly wasn't.Brighton Karting and the team, were professional, fair, and of course accommodating; listening to my woes, and then going above and beyond to correct what turned out to be a driver category misplacement when booking over the telephone.This moment will be a core memory for both of us for years to come and we cannot wait to return.Finally, I just want to reiterate that it's fantastic that Brighton Karting can put Parents and their children on track where other well-known circuits do not. Just make sure that when booking over the phone for 200cc, if your child is below the age of 11 years despite being 147cm tall, that you have been put into the (KIDS & FAMILY OPEN 30 (120cc/200cc) 8yrs+) and not the Intermediate which was (200cc/270cc).What are you waiting for?

I love this place it’s an incredible track with great kart’s at a very good price compared to other outdoor tracks. I have been here about 5 times and I wish there was a martial at the chicane because so many people spin there and people are often there when a martial hasn’t seen them

First time there, went along with a friend and had the 30 minute race experience which was really enjoyable. Good value, good set up, good team, good cafe and coffee afterward. Yeah, pretty much all good.

We’ve just taken our lads and their friend to Brighton karting for the first time and were delighted with the facilities, staff and setup.It was a spur of the moment decision and the staff helped us out on the phone with the booking and sorting our specific needs.The boys had the most fantastic time and came off the karts suitably tired.The location is lovely and the cafe serves a very nice zero beer!We will definitely be back again.Thank you

First class Karting venue. Real quality set up and super professional. The Karts are all very high quality and although I took my own kit the loan gear looked all good. The venue is great, there’s an awesome Cafe and everyone is super friendly. The circuit is challenging enough to keep you busy and the team really control everyone’s behaviours so there’s maximum skill minimum risk.All in all a fantastic place. Can’t fault it!

Awesome place - family run and it shows in the way it's kept and the engaging and interested staff. As outdoor circuits go must be one of the best.
