Description

Motor racing doesn’t have to be about fast cars, money and glamour. For two people who want the pure thrill of burning rubber and tyre-to-tyre racing, have a go at karting in this brilliant Birmingham venue, home to the longest track in the West Midlands. Over 1000 metres long, the track provides a high-octane go karting experience guaranteed to leave both participants breathless. Each kart features a 200cc engine and can reach speeds of up to 40 mph. Start with a safety briefing to get familiarised and then each person sets off in a 200cc kart, attempting to make it round the track 50 times before anyone else, for ultimate glory.
