This voucher entitles you to enter either a Grand Prix which takes place on their 600m National circuit or a 30 minute endurance event which will take place on the International circuit.

On arriving at the centre you will sign on and get suited up in a helmet and racing overalls. This will be followed by a safety briefing and instructions on the kart controls. For these races you'll be driving the RX390 karts which are ideal for both novice drivers and those with previous karting experience. The Grand Prix takes place on the shorter but challenging National Circuit, with practice, three heats and a final for all drivers. The 30 minute endurance takes place on the full international circuit, with practice and 30 minutes of non-stop racing. The experience ends with a presentation of trophies to the fastest drivers.
