Description

Karting isn’t just for kids – it’s how many Grand Prix champions (including former Formula 1 world champions Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton) start out before moving on to fame and fast women. Whatever racing ambitions are harboured, this experience is loads of fun; novice or expert, everyone can enjoy this fast and furious session, racing others head-to-head around a specially-designed track. Start with a briefing, get familiar with the karts and circuit (and wake up that competitive streak). Then compete against other drivers in a race to find the overall champion and total glory.
