Andover, Hampshire
Thruxton Kart Centre sits beside Thruxton motor-racing circuit near Andover in Hampshire. It is an outdoor venue with two main tracks: the 900m National Circuit, which is seven metres wide and includes a flyover, and a shorter Club Circuit that can be run in several configurations.
The thing that catches groups out. Below the minimum you either pay for absent drivers or book an open session instead.
Drivers share a kart and swap over across an hour or more. Far better for building a team than everyone racing individually, and often cheaper per head because it is priced per kart.
Most operators take card on the day. Fewer will invoice a company on thirty days, and it is worth asking before you commit.
Meeting or dining space on site turns half a day into a full one and saves moving everybody twice.
Height, weight or medical limits will rule someone out. Sites with a simulator or a second activity handle that gracefully.
