comment Latest Reviews

  • We came down to Bournemouth for my stag do and we all had a brilliant time at the karting. The enduro+ was perfect for our party size (11 people).

    Tony

  • The whole experience from booking to checkered flag was great. Any questions I asked were answered swiftly. From the minute we arrived at the track the staff were friendly and knowledgeable, and all those who took part throughly enjoyed themselves and are planning another event soon.

    Debbie

  • What a fantastic day out!! The whole group had a brilliant time, despite the wet weather (a couple said they actually found that more challenging!!) Can’t remember the name of the main manager/engineer, but he was spot on, clearly knows and loves his motorsport, funny guy, very welcoming, overall 100% worth the £50-odd each, would definitely do that again.

    Simon
